From experience it works! Stops the small ones, seems to lessen the big ones. The idea is that when you cough you massage the heart and get a little more oxygen into the blood.
Another ‘weird’ one that works is 1teaspoon of cayenne pepper to 8oz. of water instead of nitro spray/tabs! What’s *really* weird about this one is that it isn’t the heat that does it but some other compound in exclusive to cayenne peppers. I get “no-heat” cayenne extract from my cardiac nutritionist that also does research and it ’saved’ me a few times when the coughing wasn’t enough (I’m resistant to nitro).

I have heard the same thing from more than one source. I have not had occasion to try it however, thank God. Supposed to keep you alert enough to be able to drive yourself to the er.
