Brief Answer:
Get her thyroid and blood sugar checked. Go to endocrinologist

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think you need to visit an endocrinologist.
I think she may get tested the thyroid hormones and also blood sugar levels fasting and HbA1C.
Sometimes low thyroid and hypoglycemia may be a cause of fainting.
POTS may be a cause too.
So as a conclusion I believe that she should be controlled by an endocrinologist.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
