She : She needs to be tested for diabetes and hypoglycemia. Ask her doctor to refer her to an endocrinologist to rule out these issues and other possible endocrine disorders (.E. Thyroid, addison's disease etc.) i would definitely seek a second opinion. Best of luck.

Since : Since your daughter's symptoms seem to be precipitated by exercise, one needs to look carefully at the heart with an echocardiogram. Possible causes for her symptoms would be valvular heart disease or asymetric septal hypertrophy. If she has not had an echo, i would insist on one before allowing her to particpate in sports. She could also be having an irregular heart beat brought on by exercise. Wearing a monitor while exercising would help determine if that was happening or not. And yes, anemia can cause reduced exercise tolerance, too.
