I've been to 3 different doctors, been to the hospital, passed 2 different Covid tests. I'm constantly struggling to keep food down because it feels like there's a chicken nugget lodged in my throat. I've thrown up at work. I threw up so badly last night that after I passed out, I woke up and see that I had left the toilet seat down and it was coated in puke.

I've gotten chest X-rays, I've had my acid reflux medicine changed, I've been on all sorts of medication. Yet they keep saying "yeah it's bronchitis you just have to wait for it to go away."

Bronchitis can last for a long time.

"yeah it's bronchitis you just have to wait for it to go away." The shitty, but correct answer.

Post-tussive emesis (throwing up after a coughing fit) can be a sign of pertussis (whooping cough). People are routinely vaccinated against pertussis with childhood vaccinations, but the immunity is not life long and re-vaccination is necessary. It's possible to get pertussis even if you've been vaccinated. I'm not sure if your doctor would be agreeable, but you can ask him to do a culture or PCR for pertussis.

Great news, I had bronchitis three years ago and at least once a year now I get a cold that as a results gives me chest pain and a cough for a month after and the doctor always just goes "yup that can happen after you get bronchitis".

So you have that to look forward to!

Woke up throwing up again, this time it was super dark red.

I assume it's from the various cough medicines I was taking.
