Lynnette, your daughter has syncope like attacks and it has nothing to do with VUR unless if you say she gets these spells during passing urine (micturation syncope); nevertheless with 4 yrs of symptoms and loss of consc. she needs to undergo first EEG to say epilepsy or not and what type and then decide treatment and sitting there miles apart I can not help without this test which is a very simple one.
