Why might I throw up when I have a coughing fit?

When you have a coughing fit, it might make you throw up for a few reasons. If you have asthma, coughing can be a big problem. Sometimes, vomiting is the main symptom when asthma is acting up. This means that when you cough a lot, it can upset your stomach and make you feel like throwing up.

Another reason could be if you have a chronic cough and are also dealing with obesity. Obesity can make coughing worse, and when you cough a lot, it can make your stomach feel upset, leading to vomiting.

Asthma can also cause other stomach problems. People with asthma might notice that their stomach feels upset more often. So, if you have asthma and a coughing fit, it might make your stomach feel bad and cause you to throw up.

If you find that you are often throwing up when you cough, it might be helpful to talk to a healthcare provider to understand more about your symptoms and find ways to feel better.
