One of the symptoms of Corona may prevent you from driving for 5 years in Britain

Coughing syncope is classified as a neurological disorder by Britain's Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), meaning anyone who suffers from it may have to stop driving and be banned from driving for up to five years.

And according to the British newspaper, "Mirror", fainting caused by coughing occurs when a person loses consciousness after a severe coughing fit, and it is believed that this is caused by increased pressure in the chest, which reduces blood flow to the heart and leads to low blood pressure.

People with lung diseases including severe COPD and asthma are more likely to develop coughing syncope.

But because coughing syncope is classified as a neurological disorder by Britain's Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency, it means anyone who suffers from it may have to stop driving for six months and up to five years if the attacks recur.

A study conducted last year by the Maria Vittoria Hospital in Turin, Italy, highlighted the case of a 75-year-old man who was hospitalized with corona, and he was discharged from hospital after three weeks of treatment, but after five days he was readmitted after a fainting spell.
