What Causes Coughing Fit And Sudden Unconsciousness?
I CAME BACK FROM A CRUISE ON THE WEEKEND AND DEVELOPED A REALLY BAD HEAD COLD, YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND WENT INTO A COUGHING FIT, I WOKE UP A FEW SECONDS LATER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND REALLY DISOREINTATED, IT ALSO HAPPENED AGAIN IN THE AFTERNOON I HAD A COUGHING FIT AND WOKE UP ON THE FLOOR A FEW SECONDS LATER

thanks for asking your question
having an episode followed by unconsciousness is dangerous so you should stop driving and roaming alone
you should visit a neurophysician who can conduct some investigations to rule out epilepsy and accordingly you can be treated
he may request for a ct head and some neurophysiological studies
thanks
