A member asked:
I have a chest infection been on antibiotics for a week, recently started coughing until i pass out. is this aproblem?

See a doctor: A worsening cough should prompt a visit to the doctor. Your history of sarcoma is a concern, and coughing "until I pass out " is not normal. A chest x ray may be ordered as part of your doctor's evaluation.
