You have severe dry cough bouts and hence the blood supply during such bouts to your brain is decreased. Hence these floaters and lightheadedness.
It is called cough syncope.
You can start a codeine syrup or an inhaler like seroflo/ advair for your cough.
This should help reducing your bouts and the lightheadedness
