What is causing my loss of breath due to severe coughing?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
This is how it works: Coughing is forceful pushing of the air out of the lung, and when you are coughing mainly successively your lungs will not have enough time to bring enough air in, and that is when you start feeling loss of breath
