sis needs convincing to go to see dr

i am asking this for my sister. she is 40 years old. she does have seizures that are under controll. no meds , but has had some stomach/abdominal problems. She had bunch of gallstones 10 year ago. gallbladder was removed. has been told she had fibrocystic cystics. has been told she has to see a internal medicine dr for her abdominal problems. But inless she passes out we have to argue and fight with her to get her to go to the dr. 4 months ago she had a cyst burst in her abdomin. She has a knot come up in the spot where her gall bladder was. when that happens her stomach bloats till she looks like she is six months pregnant. it gets harder for her to breath. well recently she has had some lower back pain in the L 2& L3 area. when this happens she will get real weak and her legs and arms feel like they don't want to work. her vision gets to where she sees tracers in her perrefial vision and sometimes she feels like she could pass out. she gets real droggy and dozes off. she says she feels like she doesn't even have the energy to speak. her blood pressure is fine during this 128/82 pulse of 86. she is 5ft 7in 120 lbs. but full of muscle. There is a strong family history of heart problems. if anyone could give me some info that might help me convince her to go see a dr please do so. i would so very much appericiate it. thank you very much in advance

Beyond driving her to a ER and demanding she go, a person can not be made to do anything they are not willing to do.

seizures...gall stones...passing out...

...it looks like she has all the info she needs to go to the doc, but as Fr_chuck said, one can't be forced to go to the doc...

Next time she has one of her episides, put her in the car and take her to the ER as this sounds like it's only going to get worse before it gets better. Apparently she is in denial that there is anything wrong with her.
