Convulsing when people cough

Anyone else experience this? I have convulsed and shrieked when people cough for as long as I can remember, and some peoples' coughs are more irritating than others.

I know it's normal to be irritated by other peoples' coughs, but In my case the shivers last for up to an hour, i just shake without helping it. I sometimes bite myself or break things to relieve myself of the anger it causes as the voice echoes through my brain. I feel as if the energy of the cough literally trickles down my spine like a venomous snake. Could this be part of any disorder or what?

I have many problems but I just can't understand this one.

Dear Friend,
I recommend you talk with your counselor and family doctor about this syndrome. This is certainly an abnormal response and you need to get professional help.

Any idea what can cause it? I dread seeing doctors or psychiatrists.

I am however aware that I have problems, just wasn't too sure of what may have caused this one...

I really don't know the cause but, it is a mental health disorder and needs to be treated. Any disorder like this one needs a thorough psychological assessment.
You might also find help through faith and prayer.

Scheisse! I go through a very subtle version of this and thought, for the longest time, that evil spirits were trying to attack me when people coughed near me. I thought that they were trying to cough ON me and send some kind of poison vapor to invade my soul or something. Now, I realize that they cough for them and I can ignore it, or make fun of it. "What? You don't like water? Need an extra lung? I think you dropped a blood vessel back there." It keeps the coughing in a good frame of my mind.
