Question:
When meditating I frequently have to cough. Only pops up then, not during my daily activities. Does this mean anything?

Answer:
Good question.

Before doing meditation, do some asanas, pranayam, breating exercises like nadi shodhan, bhastrika, kapalbhatti, savasana.

Exercise, asanas and pranayam are done to make our body healthy so that, while meditating, we should not be disturbed by our body.
