Aha. Google says “Paroxysmal cough
This type of cough can make it hard for you to breathe and even cause you to vomit. The cough itself can be characterised by violent, intense coughing attacks that are difficult to control. The most common cause of this type of cough is whooping cough, but it can also be caused by: Asthma.”

This all started on Thursday as a bad asthma attack. Before I took the cough prescription pills Saturday, I really thought I might have pertussis- but no whooping.

Cough is back! Coughing that hard hurts my head!
