Menopausal Seizures?

The Story

Hello! My mother is 50 years old. Before 4 he had a seizure in which he swallowed his tongue. She was at work, her boss had helped her then. She went through a neurologist, was prescribed Rivotril for 6 months, was told that she had an accidental epileptic seizure (), And was caused by severe menopause. Severe menopause spends, with occasional bleeding, with terrible hot flashes, mood swings, filling from the "air". He recently fainted again. This time my father was next to her. He went through all kinds of doctors - neurologist, cardiologist, gynecologist. My mother is quite a full woman, she has gained a lot of weight in recent years. There is a suspicion that she has sleep apnea, but otherwise absolutely everything is normal - blood, sugar, cholesterol, all hormones. Tests for epilepsy passed, some nerves in her neck examined, but nothing. She is currently being prescribed pills, the same as Rivotril, but with a different name. This time in 3 months ... Everyone says it's menopause. Okay. But what if there is no one with her next time? A completely healthy person cannot faint and swallow his tongue ... I was thinking of having an MRI. All the doctors told us not to waste our time and nerves. She was healthy, it didn't make sense. Has anyone had a similar problem? What would you advise us?
