Hypertension can also cause giddiness and result in fainting.During time of fainting heart rate goes up.
Other possibilities,she might have some arrythmia/increase in heart rate which can result in fainting.
i suggest you to get her ecg,echo done.
Monitor her BP morning and evening for few weeks.
Avoid alcohol, alcohol consumption can also cause increase in BP and sometimes heart rate.
