That said, if you spend 2 seconds thinking, "do I whoop when I cough?" you'd know if you had it. Literally, you cough so hard that when you finally can gasp for air, it comes out as a whoop.
My guess is, you either have bronchitis or it's turned into walking pneumonia. Either way, get thee to a doctor! (And then, get to feeling better, that's one serious to-do list!
)
Because of this threat, I got a whooping cough booster vaccination this winter. Your PSA of the day .
