Hello,
As you said all reports are normal except Cortisol level and sodium, the cause is psychological, she can be in stress and anxiety. I advise you to talk to her and counsel her. Depression may lead to loss of appetite, vomiting and headache.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
