My 11-year-old cat with herpes is puking daily. Is it serious?

I just found out my 11 year old cat got herpes when he was a kitten but he has also been puking two or three times a day everyday. Sometimes nothing comes out it's just spit but I'm so concerned about him.

The puking is probably non related to the Herpes, but it is a serious concern as it could be a severe condition such as kidney failure or lymphoma, you need to take Sandy to the vet ASAP in order to get it checked.
