I have looked on the web about 'cough syncope' basically fainting after coughing, you might want to look that up. - some high blood pressure drugs contain ace-inhibitor's which can make you cough more, are any of the meds you take contibuting to your coughing bouts? That is if you took medication on an ongoing basis before this started. J.

I have run many searches on it, (tussive Syncope) and while it describes the condition, I have yet to see any way to manage it. I am hoping someone has had this attack, and or knows of someway to treat it. markrobert
I had multiple episodes of cough syncopy a few years ago. One resulted in a significant laceration above my right eye. After 4-5 coughs I can feel a "buzz" in my head before I blackout.
