Sometimes when one coughs or laughs, vagus nerve stimulation is sufficient to significantly slow down the heart thereby causing a temporary sensation of lightheadedness. However, because of your father's history of hypertension, your father's doctor needs to know that he is experiencing these episodes. ---- Peace Mary Ann
