I'm really worried because every morning when I wake up, I have this really bad cough. Sometimes there's even a little blood in it, and I feel like I might throw up. It only happens in the morning though. What could be causing this?

Morning cough with blood and occasional vomiting may indicate an underlying respiratory issue, such as bronchitis, pneumonia, or tuberculosis; other possible causes include acid reflux, postnasal drip, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); consult a pulmonologist
