Mom has had a cough for a year but in the last 3 months it has turned to a violent gag reflex making breathing very hard 15 seconds or so. ?

Not normal: A chronic cough for that long needs further evaluation. She should be evaluated by her Primary Care and perhaps see a lung specialist. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Must see a physician: It's not unusual for people to vomit if they have paroxysms of coughing. However a cough lasting a year along with violent gaging and shortness of breath is worrysom and a person with these symptoms should have a thorough evaluation, including a chest x ray. Your physician will want you to see a specialist.
