This is difficult and i am not sure that I can reassure you,or anybody else can at this moment.
The diagnosis rests between epilepsy and non-epileptic seizures as highlighted by Buenchico's link. However, the correct diagnosis may take some time to confirm and may need the help of a Neurologist.
As for the low BP and low blood sugars causing this in your daughters case, I am not convinced, although you will find connections on the internet.
I am afraid that you will have to be patient phleb and monitor the situation over the next few months and if the seizures recur, then further neurological investigations may be needed.
My money......for what it is worth, based on what you have told me,goes on these being non-epileptic seizures.
