Overview

The mechanics of cough as described under cough pathophysiology demonstrate the role of various body systems and organ in the production of a cough. The various complications associated with cough can be categorized according to systems involved also,Cough complications can also be acute or chronic.

Complications

The complications of coughing can be classified as either acute or chronic. Acute complications include cough syncope (fainting spells due to decreased blood flow to the brain when coughs are prolonged and forceful), insomnia, cough-induced vomiting, rupture of blebs causing spontaneous pneumothorax, subconjunctival hemorrhage or "red eye", coughing defecation and in women with a prolapsed uterus, cough urination. Chronic complications are common and include abdominal or pelvic hernias, fatigue fractures of lower ribs and costochondritis.The table below shows the various complications of cough. [1]


Variants. Symptoms.
Cardiovascular. Arterial hypotension[2],Bradyarrhythmias[3],tachyarrhythmias,loss of consciousness,Rupture of subconjunctival, nasal, and anal veins
Constitutional symptoms. Excessive sweating, anorexia, exhaustion.
Gastrointestinal. GERD,Hepatic cyst rupture,Herniations,Malfunction of gastrostomy button,Mallory-Weiss tear,Splenic rupture
Genitourinary. Inversion of bladder through urethra.Urinary incontinence[4].
Musculoskeletal Diaphragmatic rupture,Rib fractures [5],Sternal wound dehiscence[6]
Neurological. Acute cervical radiculopathy[7],Cerebral air embolism[8],Cough syncope [9],Dizziness,Headache,Seizures,Stroke due to vertebral artery dissection
Ophthalmologic. Spontaneous compressive orbital emphysema of rhinogenic origin
Psychosocial. Fear of serious disease,Lifestyle changes,Self-consciousness.
Respiratory. Exacerbation of asthma[10],Herniations of the lung,Hydrothorax in peritoneal dialysis,Laryngeal trauma,pneumatosis intestinalis[11], pneumomediastinum, pneumoperitoneum, pneumoretroperitoneum, pneumothorax, subcutaneous emphysema,bronchitis,bronchial rupture.
Skin. Petechiae,purpura[1].
