stop coughing.

as a matter of fact, it is.
But why anyone would want to do that
intentionally i dont know.
Now people who have issues like, emphysema
or upper respiratory infections can and
will have what are commonly called
"coughing fits" because of an inflammation
of the airways of the lungs.

Making youself cough...maybe. Not being
able to stop because there is an actual
physical condition...maybe that too. I've
kept coughing and thrown up from coughing
too much. My kids have too. Coughing can
agitate the stomach, so of course stuff is
going to end up coming up eventually.

You can have a chronic, persistent cough.
A cough that is accompanied by mucus can
indeed make you feel sick to your stomach
due to the mucus going down your throat
and entering the stomach. Any cough that
is persistent warrants further
investigation with the doctor. Allergies
can be the cause of a chronic, persistent
cough.
