hi, frequent vomitings can reduce serum k and mg levels but not the reverse. you need to find out the cause of her vomiting, could be some king of gastric problem. kidney defects can also cause low k and mg (eg:gitelmans syndrome) ... keeping her on k and mg supplements will reduce her weakness. a caution to note is that low k can induce cardiac disturbances. a thorough check by a nephrologist may help. all the best.
