What Causes Body Tremors When Suffering From Influenza And Chronic Bronchitis?

I have influenza and chronic bronchitis complicated by my asthma. I am on the mend but still have a pretty violent cough. I find that I often have moderated tremers or trembling toward the end of a coughing spell that will last for 20 or 30 mor seconds. What causes this?

Dear Patient,

this can be caused by higher CO2 levels in your blood, caused by hyperventilation through a coughing spell. Usually it is not dangerous and will most likely go away once you have recovered some more. Hope this is helping you , if you have any clarificatons you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
