So I'm doing my huff/cough during chest pt, and all the sudden I feel like my head has an elephant standing on it, and I feel my eyes closing, I said to myself 'whoa I'm going down'...
Next thing I know I open my eyes and I'm slumped over my keyboard with my neb mouthpiece on the floor and a big headache!
I had been watching a youtube clip and from where I started it to where it was, it must have been about 40 seconds I was out.
In all my days and all my hard coughs this has never happened to me!
My belly is huge now and theres alot of pressure on my diaphragm. Maybe I need to not force myself to cough too hard? Ease up a bit on chest pt?

That's scary. You should touch base with your doctor about this, maybe your OB? I hope it doesn't happen again.

I have blinked out (2-3 times) for a few seconds while hard coughing. Some what of a scary situtation. I know my limits now and stop coughing for a few seconds and let my body recompose then resume my coughing. I think what happens is you drop your blood pressure, a vagal response to the coughing.

mamaScarlet you be careful with the gift that God has given you!! Take care!! How far along are you?
