I had a severe cough now for about 8 weeks.   I have high blood pressure that controlled by Lapril,  now the coughing is getting worse and so my doctor did a chest X-ray and blood work.  All came back clear.  Now after one of coughing spells, I am having seizures that last anywhere between 5 and 20 seconds.  I am 52 and have been in good health till now.   Please help
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Based on your symptoms, you seem to be suffering from cough syncope and not seizures. In this condition, during bouts of cough, the blood supply to brain is reduced, resulting in transient loss of consciousness. Once your cough is treated, you would stop having these episodes. In the meanwhile, when you start coughing, you should lie down, which would prevent the loss of consciousness. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/
