Suggest Remedy For Coughing And Difficulty In Breathing

My wife is a smoker & drinker, she coughs a lot throughout the day. Over the last few years I have experienced her totally loose her breath to where she has to raise her arms above her head or hang off a door until she can breath again. She will not go to see a doctor about this. We have had arguments about this and she says there is nothing wrong and that she just swallowed wrong. How can I help her out if she wont go to a doctor? I work full time and she is home alone everyday.
