Detailed Answer:
Hi

If vomiting is uncontrolled it is called hyperemesis graviderum. This if goes out of control needs to be hospitilized and treated.

But if its little nausea and vomiting tablet doxinate can be taken once in morning and in evening.

If blood pressure report is good then there is no question of low BP. Its just weakness associated with pregnancy.

She can have less spicy food in small quantities at frequent intervals. This will take care of her weakness as well as vomiting.

I hope your doubt is cleared.

Yes

Hi

First let her have antacid syrup like digene or tablet rantac. If uncontrolled then take emset. If she has more episodes she has to see a gynecologist and get urine ketone bodies tested as excess vomiting leads to further problems.
