I have a cold at the moment (2 days so far) about 45 minutes ago i had a coughing fit and couldn't breathe and blacked out for about 40 seconds ?

See doctor: Cough syncope is uncommon. If you have breathing problem and such a severe cough, it may well not be a cold. Need to consider something more serious such as pneumonia. Need to check with your doctor before you pass out and hit your head.
