seizure or migraine

Post a new topicby jrjack on Mon Sep 29, 2008 12:52 pm

I have an 8 year old girl who has these episodes since she was 5 1/2. They started with stomach pains, racing heart, flushed face, vomiting and dialiated pupils: with headache and tiredness and urge to urinate after. They anly last about 5-20 sec. the vomiting and stomach pain has now gone away with these episodes since her first episode in May 2006. She has seen ped gastronologist, and 2 ped. neurologist she always has a normal EEG result she has had 4 done 3 in office and 1 overnight. Can these episodes be simple seizures of can they be migraines? I have the feeling that because the EEG is normal they feel that it is nothing to worry about. but I worry, what if they are seizures and they are not diagnosed, will she suffer in the future with brain damage or maybe worse episodes? I am at wits end we have been to the doctors so often trying to figure these out I need some help if any of this sounds familiar to you please let me know. p/s The doctors never had her have an MRI does this help in diagnosing seizures?
