Have had multiple episodes over the past year and am really freaking out about it. It started when I was smoking last year. I would hit a joint and start coughing and my face would start tingling and my vision would get blurry and I felt like I was about to pass out. I would flex my legs out of instinct to maintain consciousness.

Fast forward to now and Im under the weather with a head cold and cant stop coughing and Im having syncope episodes daily. Just had one a few minutes ago and I felt chest heavy, shortness of breath and heart rate jacked over 100.

Going to schedule an appointment tomorrow with a heart specialist and just wanted to ping the board for others that deal with this or any resident doctors that know what tests i need to have run on me to determine the severity

I deal with this as well, and I just happen to have a cold including a cough. I told my cardiologist about it when I saw him last week. He did not seem too concerned about it.

It seems kind of counterintuitive, but my blood pressure seem to drop when I get a coughing fit. He offered to put me on a 24hr cardiac monitor for 21 days….i declined!

I pass out when I laugh too hard. I forget the first time it happened, but I’ve probably fainted a dozen or so times. I’ve had the tests done on my heart and everything came back normal.

I’ve felt myself on the verge when I have an asthma flare up.

Friend, you're implicitly giving health advice without a proper basis that could lead to this guy dying. Seriously?

Reduce your coughing by drinking more water.

What scares me is that it has happened when im driving and Ive had to strain to maintain focus and control of the vehicle. Read online that if you have cough syncope you cant operate a vehicle...like license revoked. Not sure what to do about it either
