I have a tendency for stridor, which means making horrible sounds while trying to breathe because either the bronchi, or in my case, the larynx, closes when I cough too much.
It is usually associated with asthma, but again, that's when the bronchi are involved.
Opinions are divided as to whether or not this could cause death. Some ENT say one just passes out and some reflex kicks it to open the airway, others are not so optimistic. For me, the asthma medicine ventolin has worked but others with this same condition say it doesn't work for them.
Or you can ignore this as pure quackery. "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
A co-worker of his developed viral pneumonia and was told by his doctor that there was nothing more he could do, that he needed to rest and rely on his immune system. My friend gave him some silver water to use in his nebulizer and over the next two days he coughed up the material that was collecting in his lungs and over the next week recovered. All anctedotal, but... No one will pay for trials of something that cannot be patented. "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
