My daughter, who is 50 years old, has been experiencing migraines that sometimes cause her to pass out. These symptoms started after she had a bladder sling surgery in 2010. Despite extensive medical evaluations, including at Mayo Clinic, no clear cause has been identified. She has seen multiple specialists, including neurologists, pain specialists, and undergone various treatments such as Botox injections and hormone therapy, but none have provided relief. She has also been on multiple medications, including estradiol, blood pressure medications, and atorvastatin, but her migraines persist. What could be causing these migraines and passing out episodes, and what further steps can be taken to manage or treat this condition?
