Detailed Answer:
Hello there!

Thank you for writing in Healthcare magic!

I understand your concern. I would like to know which tests has she already gone through? I would like her to go through Ultrasonography whole abdomen to rule out diseases like ovarian torsion,kidney stones or ectopic pregnancy(in case she is sexually active).

Blood pressure fluctuating at this age could mean that she might have internal bleeding. It is very important to give her antispasmodic tablets like tablets Drotaverine to release spasms inside her body and give her temporary relief.

She might be sleepy because of low oxygen in her brain due to low blood volume.Please take her to the emergency and make her drink lots of fluids in the meanwhile.

Hope this helps.Feel free to ask more.
