you have to try and relax tell your self it doesn't last. try to cough deep enough to bring the mucus up. sit down when you first start coughing so you don't fall. use inhaler if you can. try drinking something hot like coffee my doctor said that works. also he told me to keep a paper lunch bag in my pocket book, so if I am out and cant use my inhaler right away breath in to the bag slowly until you catch your breath enough to find your inhaler. it works ive had to do this I have stage four so there isn't much I haven't done. hugs to you.
Me to if I laugh I to see stars when coughing and feel the need to wee so have to cross my legs ,had a bladder opp years ago now though ,it is very embarrassing in front of people if I'm out hope I don't pass out does the coffee help stop coughing ?
At times coughing makes me see stars..........If you can, they say....cough 3 gentle coughs, a few times and eventually that mucous comes up
gvalmon: Thank you for the tips. Coffee i knew. Helps also against stuffiness. ( i hope its the right word). When i have an infection i often cough all the time/ Im afraid to go down in the middle of a shop or something.
yes all the time,
