Tumor Removed From Head, Having Spells, Dizziness, Headache. What Can Be The Solution?

I have a 16 year old daughter who in Nov. had a tennis ball size tumor removed from the head of her pancrease. the tumor was very rare but benign. Since then she has been having spells where she blacks out for a few seconds followed by dizziness and headache and shakiness. She also seems to be very tired after these happen. They have checked her blood pressure and sugar, but those are fine.

Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
These symptoms in your daughter could be suggestive of seizures.
Please get her checked up by a neurologist for finding out the underlying cause.
She would benefit from medications such as divalproex or topiramate, which work against both migraine and seizures.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
