fainting

My daughter started have what I thought was seizures.  The nuerologist says her 24 hr. eeg was normal so for us to see a psychiatrist.  Well we have been seeing one.  And now along with the seizures she has been passing out (fainting).  She can be sitting playing dominos talking on the phone, walking across the road to get to our car and she sometimes complains her stomach hurts and then she pass out.  Here lately there has been no warning.  She says things go dark when were riding in the car or sitting in class then shes out.  When she comes out of it she has a real ad headache and can't move her extremeties for a few meinutes.  Sometimes you can even tell in fer face when one is coming on.  She gets this strange look.  I have seen two nuerologist and because her records from when this started has followed her the ER doctor says she was faking it because of her loss of vision so now everyone we have seen have thought she was faking it.  But I know she is not.  They are not around when this happens.  hey are just going by what the others say.  They have not done any other tests to rule out other problems.

Hi,
   I also think it is a brain related problem and some more neuro tests like MRI may be required.I do not quite understand why should one fake such situations. Also, you may show her to a cardiologist and check if she has any problem with the heart. Some times problems with circulation leading to poor oxygen supply to brain may also give such problems.
