Can asthma cause throwing up?
After a very bad coughing fit due to my asthma, I sometimes feel so bad that I end up throwing up. It's really unsettling and I don't know if it's related. Can asthma cause someone to throw up?

Honestly, don't rely on online forums for this kind of stuff. People will tell you ten different things, but vomiting with asthma could be due to a severe cough reflex or something else entirely. Better to get it checked by a proper doctor instead of trying home remedies from the internet.

Actually yes, it can happen, especially in kids or during a really bad coughing fit where the gag reflex gets triggered. But if this is happening often, you need to check if the inhaler dose needs adjustment. Please talk to your doc about this symptom so they can evaluate the chest congestion.

I don't have asthma, but my high BP taught me that sudden severe symptoms shouldn't be ignored. If coughing is making you throw up, it puts a lot of stress on the body and can even spike your blood pressure. Get a proper checkup done soon and keep a track of your daily triggers.

Whenever my sugar levels go out of whack, I get cautious about any new symptom, and asthma is no different. Throwing up means you are losing fluids, which can mess up your system. Avoid heavy, oily foods right now and focus on getting your lungs checked by a specialist.

Hey, don't stress too much, okay? I have seen this happen with my cousin when she gets really bad cough attacks from her asthma, it just triggers the gag reflex. Just rest up for now, sip some warm water, and definitely give your doctor a quick call to be safe.

Man, as if not being able to breathe at night wasn't enough, now we have to deal with throwing up too? Honestly, a bad coughing fit at 3 AM has made me gag so many times. It is exhausting, but you should really ask your doc how to stop these midnight attacks.
