Q: Fainting Or Seizure??

I recently went for a gynecological visit and get really anxious and sick feeling when I go for appointments of this sort. I have always fainted but my eyes roll to the back of my head and I jerk violently on the table when I black out. My family physician has always said that I was just having fainting spells. This new doc said it was definitely a seizure. This has only happened when I was super nervous about something, always being a doctor's appt. Of some sort. I usually black out, when I come to I am unaware of where I am or who the people are around me but this only lasts for a few minutes. I am wondering if anyone else only has this problem when put in stressful situations and what you might think about it. The ironic part is that I am on several anti-seizure meds to treat my bipolar disorder so I would think maybe they would have prevented this recent seizure/fainting spell from happening. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
