Posted on Mon, 23 Feb 2015
Question: I have bronchitis and sometimes I cough so hard I loose vision. it is so unclear that if I'm driving I have to stop the car. I know when a cough is coming and I can hold it at bay for a couple minutes to pull over and it's only happened a few times but it's scary. what is happening and is there anything I can do? Thank you.
