Could be many things: The cough can certainly be related o your COPD. Vomiting can be from many causes including GERD, hiatal hernias and even excess mucus from your COPD. Some medications can also cause this line ACE inhibitors for high blood pressure. Check your medications with the pharmacist and do see you physician about the persistent cough and vomiting. Good Luck
