Well, you will find: A better answer but the kidneys help control blood pressure; if she's losing function it's not unusual to lose BP control. The nausea may be due to several factors but make sure she is on a good medicine to protect her stomach from ulcers. A good, unique drug to help sleep mood and appetite is Mirtazapine at 15-30 mg at night. Depression can get overlooked and she is at high risk. Good luck.
