Can Anyone Fake A Seizure?

Can anyone fake a seizure? Can they bring there heart rate up on there own just laying down to 134? I believe my daughter is having seizures but some people say she is faking it because she calls for help. She knows right before what is going to happen. She does not want to die, she wants to live.
