What Causes Fainting Spells And Nausea In A Child?

My 9 1/2 yr. old daughter has had several instances in which she has felt very faint, or even nearly passed out. Each time has been when I am messing with her in some way...like cleaning her earrings and taking them in and out, looking at a pimple and cleaning it, even gently working tangles from her hair with a comb. She gets really pale and says she thinks she is going to throw up. She has never vomited, but has started to pass out. I make her sit and put her head between her and she feels better in a few minutes. Is this normal?

Hi... this is not normal. I feel that all these actions are stimulating vagal attack in your kid. I suggest that you get her evaluated with her pediatrician.
