Jefx, that light headed feeling could just be the result of the coughing fit itself. Oxygen levels in your body are altered by prolonged, forceful coughing, causing you to feel light headed for a few seconds.
A forceful cough can even alter your heartbeat. I've been advised by my doc when my heart is racing to try a few, forceful coughs to reset my heartbeat.
