Coughing to the point of Vomit

coltsfan715 · Aug 26, 2007

Hey Jenn,

I got this alot the past year and there was really only one thing that helped to alleviate the vomitting. I will also add I was at a point where I would throw up EVERY time I would cough cause my coughing fits were so unbearable.

I found that if I could breathe in through my nose and out through my mouth a few times between every few coughs it helped alot. I ended up doing what you would do if you were hyperventilating - slow 'deep" breathing basically. Well as deep as I could at the time. Once I started doing this it pretty well stopped the vomiting. For me it was an O2 thing I think cause I would cough til I was dark red at times before I started using that breathing between coughs.

I normally tried to go for a few seconds each breath and take maybe 3 breathes or so before coughing again. I know it is kind of like suppressing a cough but the point is not to start doing the breathing in the middle of the fit, but to start doing the breathing anytime I was coughing really hard to prevent the continued hacking.

Take Care and hope you find something that helps.
