I had this situation a while back. Guy next to me coughing and hacking all the time. Super annoying but I kept my mouth shut and learned to ignore it.

Little did I know, the ladies in the office told management it was distracting and the manager had to have a talk to the guy to keep it down.


Long story short: learn to live with it and let someone else do your dirty work

Guy could have a serious illness. He may be vaping to ease his pain

The congestive heart failure may be correct.

A family member had a persistant cough without sinus drainage. After decades, doctors discovered a faulty valve. They cleaned the valve. She still coughed. Ten years of blood thinners later, doctors told her it was time to replace the valve; the first replacement failed (Probably MRSA, the hospital didn't say) and she died the morning of the day she was already in the hospital for a second replacement. She had had rheumatic fever as a child which 'they' thought was the cause of the valve damage.

My Dad had the same thing as a result of his Congestive Heart Failure(CHF), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(COPD), and a stricture of the esophagus which eventually caused chronic aspiration.

Perhaps you should suggest he just go ahead and die so you can feel more at ease at work?

I actually went through this thread just to see if anyone else remembered that thread, and if it was the same OP (wasn't).

Similar situation here with a coworker. I can wear headphones and tune out noise (humming and singing) but the guy bangs on his keyboard to the point where I can feel it (our desks are basically one big desk back to back). Don't want to sound like a bitch but feeling vibration in your desk all day is annoying he ever living shite out of me
