Thanks for asking
I gone through your question, your 12 year old daughter prone for fainting and she feel dizzy.
The age of 12 year is adolescence. This age of hormonal change and growth spurt in girls . Fainting and dizzyness is common in this age group. In this age requirment of nutrition specially iron is increased.
If I was your treating pediatricain I would advise you for
1. heavy breakfast, with diet rich of pulses, green veg, eggs , milk
2. good amount of Fluid intake .
3. iron suppliment in form of syp 2.5ml daily.
