RBBB is a electrical conduction block in the right side of the  heart and it is not life threatening it just causes the electrical conduction to be delayed a bit because it has to travel from the left part of the heart then to the right side instant of going to both of them together but I history of dizziness of fainting couple of times is not good which needs further  evaluation. You need to get her checked what she may be having is intermittent tachycardia / arrhythmia which means that intermittently your heart rate increases or the heart Rhythm changes which can be dangerous if it does not get corrected on its own. Or it can be an early sign of impending heart disease. but to diagnose it you need to get an ECG done while you are having the rhythm problem or you can get holter monitoring for 24 hours during which if you have this episode it will get registered and documented. Also you need to get a complete lipid profile done as well as a echocardiogram and blood sugar and thyroid levels to look for risk factors. Once you have done that Get back to me with the reports for a detailed consultation.   Meanwhile  Watch these simple explanatory videos for understanding  the problem.
