I was researching about respiratory issues recently and read that a collapsed trachea causes severe coughing fits. Sometimes, that intense coughing can trigger a gag reflex and lead to vomiting. It is definitely a serious issue.
My uncle had a similar breathing issue and used to throw up after heavy coughing fits, which panicked us completely. But the doctor explained it was just a normal gag reflex from the throat irritation. Once his breathing treatment started, the vomiting stopped too.
If there is heavy coughing leading to vomiting, keeping the head elevated and avoiding heavy meals can help a bit. But honestly, a collapsed trachea is a major medical issue. You should consult a specialist doctor immediately for a proper solution.
Beta, throat and windpipe problems should never be ignored. You can sip a little warm water with honey to soothe the throat irritation, but do not rely on home remedies for a collapsed trachea. Please show a good doctor immediately.
If you are vomiting and also have diabetes, it is very dangerous as your blood sugar levels can drop or fluctuate wildly. Please don't ignore this combination. Get in touch with your doctor immediately to manage both the breathing and digestive issues safely.
My father went through a trachea issue, and yes, the constant coughing and gasping for air would occasionally make him throw up. It was very scary for us. We had to keep in constant touch with his doctor to manage his symptoms.
From what I've dealt with, the breathing distress and throat spasms from a trachea collapse absolutely can trigger vomiting. The best tip is to eat very small, soft meals and avoid dry foods that cause coughing. Most importantly, follow your specialist's treatment plan strictly.
