There's enough going on with poor Loki, that I would definitely take him to the vet. The vomiting and the coughing may be related and is suspicious of a lower airway disease. It's not likely to be something severe like cancer, so should be easily treated when the cause of the coughing, sneezing and vomiting is discovered. The tiredness is also a sign of infection. It doesn't appear to be an emergency, but will be good to have him seen by a vet in the next 24 hours. I hope that helps and Loki gets better soon.
