Coughin'

[Losin]

For the second year in a row I have contracted these deep coughs that come in large doses.  I know from last year that i will soon blackout, so i drop whatever I'm doing and sit down.  Last year I was prescribed antibiotics, steroids, and an inhaler.  Knocked it right out last time.  This year, i was prescribed the same course of meds, and while I regained my voice, and the frequency diminished, I am still coughing to blackout.  Difference being instead of 4 or 5 times a day, it's 1 or 2 times ina week.  I have found that when it starts if i can suck in some air after two or three coughs, I end up a little light headed but don't blackout.  I would LOVE for a definite answer to what this is, and if left untreated what will it cause.  It's not so much scary as it is unsettling.

Over the last 2 weeks, my father  have had 5 attacks of blacking out after coughing. These blackouts last for just seconds( 20 secs)
and seem to be increasing in frequency.  sometimes vommiting also.
Admitted in hospital for 5 days, doctors did all the testings till ct scan  but they did not find anything.
still its the same condition.

Have you seen a pulmonologist? That sounds really scary.
