coughing causes dry heaving

For the past few weeks, I've been coughing more and if I cough a few times, then I'll start to dry heave or throw up. But I've been having to eat less because I might throw it up if I start coughing. I've also been nauseas lately so I don't know if it's a stomach acid thing. But I take Nexium so I shouldn't have that problem. Does anybody know what could be the cause of this or what to do to prevent/stop it?

I've go a quick question... Do you cough with your mouth open, like most of us do, but dont mean to, -- If you tongue is able to be stretched out, you are more likely to be able to gag/ dry heave... my mom always yelled at me saying " keep it in your mouth!! " LOL, but i threw up for 4 months from my stomach messing up [ gastrointestinal problems] but literally everytime I coughed, I almost tossed my cookies. Not a good thing or easy thing to deal with, but the tongue in my mouth helped ALOT. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> Good Luck, if that doesnt work, let me know.. simple fixes work wonders.

Happened to DS as a baby. Turned out he was culturing something and needed abx. Might be worth your while to got in and have them run a sputum culture.

Thank you for the input. I don't think I stick out my tounge when coughing but I'll try to keep that in mind, thanks. But I think I realized the cause: a few weeks ago I had an esophageal endoscopy and some kind of band thing was put in my throat to prevent my esophageal varices from bleeding. I'm not sure though.
