HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My stepdad has had chronic coughing for a few years now and he's been to the doctor for it. But I don't think he tells us everything about it. He quit smoking about two weeks ago, and got past a touch of pneumonia. Recently though he has fallen down on the floor and passed out in a chair.He has passed out b4 this however. I'm 14 and I WANT MY STEPDAD TO BE ALIVE FOR A LONG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!

For about five years now when I cough really hard I black out...today really scared the heck out of myself because I was on my motorcycle and while stopped at a red light I started coughing. Before I knew what was happening I started coughing and blacked out. As I was sitting on my bike I just fell over and the bike landed on top of me...a gentleman was behind me in his truck and immediately came to my assistance....when I came to...about 6 - 8 seconds I freaked out...I thank God I wasn't moving...what is causing this? I do have COPD

That is the reason for u not ever and ever start smoking and that is the smoke that kills people. YOu STepdad should seek medical attention as there numerous reasons why he passed away...plus he is coughing ...it is warning sign.
