Cough attacks

I sometime say I swallowed and it went down the wrong way-and try to drink something fast or find a restroom to hide in til I get the mucus out. When someone asks me if I'm ok I give a pathetic, squeaky "yes" with a little smile and that usually gets a smile back. When I was very pregnant I used to get some dirty looks from people who assumed I wasn't taking care of myself so I'd always loudly ask for a drink from whoever I was with and say my throat was dry. I always carried around a bottle of water when preggo and still do now since BF so that helps too.

I went to the movie theater the other week, and no lie, I had a coughing fit in the theatre. During the action scenes, I coughed a ton, and a few people looked back at me and shook their heads in disapproval. But they didn't say anything. So for dramatic effect, as I decided to have a little fun with the audience, I was totally quiet during the non-important scenes, and then comes the action scenes once again. Haha, I let loose a fury of coughs, I was coughing so hard and pretending I was hacking mucous up, it was so funny. After a few minutes of that, I was quiet again, and then I took a sip of my soda, I suddenly started coughing and grabbing my throat. After that bout had subsided, I whispered to a few people that my soda went down the wrong throat, I was sure to sound like I was speaking with Marlboro points. Hahahaha.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

I usually just give a quick, tight lipped smile, and the "OK" sign, and then, when I'm over it, just say "Sorry about that", and that's it usually. Sipping warm water helps me too (learned that one from the dentist <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> ), and it I'm in the movies or something similar, I cover my mouth with both hands and hide my face in my knees/lap to muffle my cough until I'm over it, and try sipping a drink when I "come up for air".

I get these alot and usually I just hold up my finger to say one minute and then I cough away. When its over I smile and say ok I'm done. If I'm on the phone I will squeak out a "let me call ya back" then I cough till my lungs are content and then call the person back. And if I can't talk sometimes I will just hang up. If it's family and friends they know why and that I will call them back <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> When I am at work or somewhere like the movies I usually hold it in which in turn creates A TON of mucus. So then when I have it under control I will go to the bathroom and cough up all that junk. Then I am good to go. You can't always hold it in though so for those I usually just go with it. I have made jokes about it afterwards but I can't remember exactly what I have said.
