Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
From your description, in my opinion, you are mostly having partial seizure.
And brain tumor is the most common cause for this.
The treatment of this type of seizure is
1. Treatment of underlying brain tumor
2. Anti epileptic drugs.
So better to consult oncologist and discuss all these. Anti epileptic drugs alone will not help much. You need simultaneous treatment of brain tumour also.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
