Brief Answer:
Seizures can be related to pregnancy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
From the history it seems that your daughter had a seizure during pregnancy- may be related to high blood pressure. If her blood pressure now is normal and she has not had any seizure in last 6 months then the medication that she is taking now can be stopped gradually but she needs to consult a gynecologist or a neurologist with complete previous records.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

But madam the gynecologist told me that it was not related with pregnancy as no Albumin nor BP is fluctuated. so what should I follow

Brief Answer:
Do consult a neurophysician.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
If the seizures were not related to pregnancy then you must consult a neurophysician for proper evaluation and discontinuation of medicines. In that case consulting a gynecologist will not help.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
Regards.
