Stress cough

Anyone else experience this?.

Its so damned annoying, Ill feel perfectly fine, then some suprise social engagement thingy happens, and i get this irresistable tickle in my chest and i cough, hard, for like 15 minutes, so much so im coughing between words in a sentence. Makes some people worry about my health, but ive been to the doctor numerous times and he tells me its just a stress cough. I dont take anything for it because im not sick and i dont want to build up an immunity to any cough medicines. I actually find eating an apple twice a day helps reduce it, but it still happens, especially when im angry, stressed, or scared.

Anyone else have this?

when i'm at work, and ringing sales at the register

i will feel the urge to cough - at the exact moment i open my mouth to tell a customer their total bill

very strange

maybe i subconsciously feel guilty or something?
