Hi,

Noted the history about your 16 year old son having asthma and anxiety, vomits daily particularly after coughing and has breathlessness.
The commonest cause of breathlessness is obviously asthma and if you get him treated well by oral Deriphyllin, oral steroids, inhalers then the breathless may be controlled.
This will also helps to sleep well.
And may also control vomiting, if not give him prescription based medicines for vomiting too.Consult a Doctor for all these things and also for the anxiety issue.
Since the boy is young, he needs proper counselling by you and Doctors as this will help with psychological factors.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
