It sounds like Lena is really not feeling well. Vomiting, loss of energy, and increased heart rate can be a cause/indication of severe dehydration. I recommend having her seen by a vet as soon as possible to determine what is going on and get her any supportive care she may need. I hope all is well with Lena!
