Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Your husbands symptoms are suggestive of a condition called as cough syncope. In this condition, during severe bouts of coughing, the venous return to the heart decreases, which results in reduce cardiac output. As a result, the brain gets less blood and the person faints. After a while, the blood supply to the brain is restored and the person comes around. It is not a serious condition and no treatment is usually required. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
