My little sisters' best friend has been really sick for about a year now, with headaches, stomach aches, nausea, heart problems, trouble breathing, and a whole bunch of other things that I can't remember, and she's been in a lot of pain, but whenever she complains to her parents about anything, even with proof that it's something a normal person would go to the ER for, they say she's overreacting. On the rare occasion when she actually goes to the doctor, she tells him about her symptoms, then he admits they sound serious, checks her for about 5 minutes, says she's fine and lets her go. I can't take it anymore. She's always in so much pain, it's practically killing her! Is there anything I can do about this? And also if there's anything you think could be causing all this, feel free to say it.
she does have proof that most if not all of the symptoms are real, I've felt her pulse after just one minute of playing capture the flag. Just her heartbeat then freaked me out enough that I almost took her to the ER myself.

It could be overall neglect leading to "attention starvation" which could make her fake those symptoms. She could also be a hypochondriac.
