4 Year Old, Felt Unconscious, Vomiting, Dizziness. Normal EEG. Is This Symptom Of Seizure?

Yes. My 4 year old granddaughter just became unconscious at her daycare. This episode lasted about 1 minute. She was talking and acting fine prior to this episode. Stated she felt dizzy then passed out. Vomited a little after she came to and her coloring is very pale. She has had a few episodes like this starting at 5 mos old. She was checked for seizures at the time but her EEG was normal so they concluded it to be an unexplained episode. She is at the doctor's office now. Is this a symptom of a seizure? Should they investigate into this again? Thank you for your time.
