General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What problems your partner is having of vomiting is mainly due to side effects caused by the intake and action of medication for abortion. Increased heart beat may not be associated with the drug but could be due to anxiety present during this process.
Ideally, abortion using pills should be done under medical supervision. You can wait for some time for bleeding to start and then these symptoms should subside. Kindly make sure that all the products of conception has been expelled out completely.
In case these symptoms worsens or she has fresh symptoms appearing, you need to consult Gynaecologist at the earliest for appropriate management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
