Reply to comment by TidalLion in [LPT REQUEST] Girlfriend came over, been coughing nonstop and having trouble breathing by DR3AMZx
We’ve been thinking about that, but it literally just started on her way here. She also apparently almost got rear ended by some guy so we were thinking maybe it’s a panic attack, she also has some other things going on in life that would give most people anxiety.

High blood pressure can cause shortness of breath

Does the coughing ease up if she sits up or stands up?
Is there MAYBE other symptoms for panic attack she's experiencing? I know they can differ from person to person but is there other things that she feels that could rule out Covid?

But she’s sleeping. People don’t have anxiety while sleeping.

People can and do have panic attacks while sleeping

Generally when one is in a state of panic, sleep is not a thing

You are lucky you have never experienced it then

She’s awake though, she’s just laying in bed. But she sat up and she took some cough drops and things seem slightly better now

If you’ve got a covid test handy, she should take it. That’ll at least eliminate one option.
If the coughing is still happening now, and she’s had some water to drink, you really do want to get her to ER though. Even stress can kill.
