Brief Answer:
Give her healthy diet with plenty of fluids.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Feeling low and fainted during periods can be due to pain and bleeding. This is further aggravated by inadequate diet and fluids. If she is having a moderate bleeding then this can be controlled with a good supportive diet. Give her light easy to digest meals and fruits with plenty of fluids. She can take fresh fruit juice or lime juice several times a day to get an instant boost of energy.
In case the bleeding is heavy then do consult her gynecologist for proper treatment.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Do feed her frequently and monitor the bleeding.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The best way to increase the BP is to give her salty fluids. Add salt to the fruit juice too. Do ask her to take frequent small meals every 2 hours.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
