What Causes Recurrent Unexplained Syncope?

My daughter is 14 and has started passing out. She has passed out about 5 times in the last two weeks. Only out for a few seconds and then she feels fine. Passes clear out. She is very active. She shows horses and she boxes. Tonight she passed out and now has a headache. I took her to the doctor and he said common in teens and make sure she drinks a lot of Gatorade and eats salt. What should I do?
