Abstract
|
|
|
Cough-induced syncope is belongs to the heterogeneous group of situational syncope. It is characterized by the loss of
consciousness occurring after excessive coughing. A 63-year-old man complained of cough syncope for 15 days. During
vigorous coughing, he lost consciousness for a few seconds. He had past medical history of bronchial asthma and diabetes mellitus. Various tests for syncope including electroencephalogram, electrocardiogram, 24-hours Holter monitoring, echocardiogram, carotid sinus massage, tilt table test, carotid duplex, and brain MRI were normal. He was treated successfully with anti-tussives and bronchodilators. We report a case of cough-induced syncope in a patient with bronchial asthma.
