here is some info on migraines
What is a migraine headache?
A migraine headache is a severe pain felt on one, and sometimes, both sides of the head. The pain is mostly in the front around the temples or behind one eye or ear. Besides pain, you may have nausea and vomiting, and be very sensitive to light and sound. Migraine can occur any time of the day, though it often starts in the morning. The pain can last a few hours or up to one or two days.
We don’t know what causes migraine headaches, but some things are more common in people who have them.
Most often, migraine affects people between the ages of 15 and 55.
Many people have a family history of migraine.
They are more common in women.
Migraine often becomes less severe and frequent with age.
What causes migraine?
One theory about the cause of migraine is the blood flow theory, which focuses on blood vessel activity in the brain. Blood vessels either narrow or expand. Narrowing can constrict blood flow, causing problems with sight or dizziness. When the blood vessels expand, they press on nerves nearby, which causes pain.
Another theory focuses on chemical changes in the brain. When chemicals in the brain that send messages from one cell to another, including the messages to blood vessels to get narrow or expand, are interrupted, migraines can occur.
More recently, genes have been linked to migraine. People who get migraines may inherit abnormal genes that control the functions of certain brain cells. And something the person’s body is sensitive to in some way triggers the actual headaches.
Headache triggers can vary from person to person. Most migraines are not caused by a single factor or event. Your response to triggers can also vary from headache to headache.Many women with migraine tend to have attacks brought on by:
lack of food or sleep
bright light or loud noise
hormone changes during the menstrual cycle
stress and anxiety
weather changes
chocolate, alcohol, or nicotine
some foods and food additives, such as MSG or nitrates
To help pinpoint your headache triggers, it may be helpful to keep a headache “diary.” Each time you have a migraine, write down the time of day, point in your menstrual cycle, where you are at the time, and what you were doing when the migraine started. Talk with your doctor about what sets off your headaches to help find the right treatment for you.
Are there different kinds of migraine?
Yes, there are many forms of migraine headache. But, the two forms seen most often are classic and common migraine.
Classic migraine. With a classic migraine, a person has these visual symptoms (also called an “aura”) 10 to 30 minutes before an attack:
sees flashing lights or zigzag lines
has blind spots or loses vision for a short time
The aura can include seeing or hearing strange things. It can even disturb the senses of smell, taste, or touch. Women have this form of migraine less often than men.
Common migraine. With a common migraine, a person does not have an aura, but does have the other migraine symptoms, such as nausea and vomiting.
How does a migraine headache differ from a tension headache?
While migraine headaches affect millions of people, they are still less common than tension headaches. Tension headaches cause a more steady pain over the entire head rather than throbbing pain in one spot. Most of the time, migraine attacks happen once in awhile, but tension headaches can occur as often as every day. While fatigue and stress can bring on both tension and migraine headaches, migraines can be triggered by certain foods, changes in the body’s hormone levels, and even changes in the weather.
There are also differences in how these two types of headaches respond to treatment with medicines. While some over-the-counter drugs used to treat tension headaches sometimes help migraine headaches, the drugs used to treat migraine attacks do not work for tension headaches.
When should I seek help for my headaches?
Nearly half of the people in the United States who have migraine do not get diagnosed and treated. The National Headache Foundation suggests you talk to your doctor about your headaches if:
you have several headaches per month and each lasts for several hours or days
your headaches disrupt your home, work, or school life
you have nausea, vomiting, vision, or other sensory problems

Oh My God! I had no idea that a migraine headache can induce vomiting or that migraines were so very painful. This is terrible.
Tell your sister to see a doctor and get some good migraine headache medication. No one should have to suffer through that.
Personally I cannot remember when was the last time I got a headache, they just don't happen to me. But what you described is awful.

Does she have a history of Migraine headaches? Migraines can cause nausea and vomiting. I suggest she see a Doctor the next time she gets a headache. Keep a record of what she was doing when they occur and the intensity. There is medication for them.

The nausea and vomiting is related to migraine headaches. It is worse for some people than it is for others. A doctor can prescribe her medicine that will make her feel better. Poor thing.

If you are a natural person you should try cognitive behavioral therapy. It was the only thing that has helped me with my horrible health anxiety. Read here https://tr.im/ioRBg
Your thinking determines your quality of life. Your thinking is what causes you these feelings:
Anxious, fearful, stressed or depressed
Constantly worried, or angry about something that is happening in your life
Struggling to overcome obsessive and negative thoughts.
If you change your thinking, you will change your life. This is the basic idea behind CBT for anxiety. The Cognitive part is where you learn nee methods and ways to change your same old habits and thinking patterns. If you keep thinking and expecting the worst – You will continue to suffer.
