I just googled the answer for you, "coughing fits sometimes cause one to
black out"

It's a condition called either "situational syncope" or "coughing
syncope". Syncope is just the medical term for "fainting". NHS choices
have a list of the many causes of fainting he

Well I'd have thought that was obvious. The lungs are the only way oxygen
gets into the blood to keep bits alive, if you are hacking away, then its
not in the lungs for very long.

That's not the reason you can black out and coughing fits
actually get more air into the lungs than normal anyway.

Nope and I don't even want a fag.
I've a bag full of tips and papers. I'll give them to the bloke next door
next time I see him. That lot seem to be skinning up 24/7.

Remember to take off any nail varnish before using it :-)

That depends on why you are coughing in the first place its supposed to help
clear fluid from the lungs.
I beg to differ with you, but while I was in hospital a couple of years
ago, they had one of those oxygen measuring things on my finger and I had a
coughing fit, and my oxygenation went right down.

I can see why others, less sparing of their valuable time, have a
tendency to respond with just a rather terse "GIYF!" to such enquiries.:-)

Won't show a damned thing, because cough fits see a
lot more air thru the lungs than normal breathing does.

And you don’t black out from that level of lowered oxygen level anyway.

That isn't what coughing FITS are about.

Presumably because of what caused the
coughing fit, not the actual coughing fit itself.
