EKG is electrocardiogram or electrocardiography. To determine heart electrical activity.
EEG is electroencephalography or electrical activity of the brain.
MRI is magnetic resonance imaging or a scanning of parts of the body including the brain.
Definitely have been through all of these plus many blood lab tests for seizures, sugar & cholesterol(heart), liver, and levels of medications.

EEG and MRI are usually done to diagnose the type of seizure or the part of the brain affected... I haven't had either done for about 30 years now, but due to get them done soon.

ok what age is hannah? if its a teen or a pre-teen, it maybe just her attitude. if you have a ipad or tablet or something with audio and video in it. tape her, with her permission. that is a easy way. then do to the dr with the tape or recording.
