Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann's campaign is pushing back against a story published online by the Daily Caller on Monday night suggesting the conservative congresswoman suffers from headaches that can "incapacitate" her for days.

Dave Dziok, a former communications director for Bachmann, told the Daily Caller that when he informed the congresswoman of his intention to leave his job with her after more than two years, Bachmann experienced medical symptoms that landed her in the hospital "within 24 hours." Dziok said that he and his former boss were on relatively good terms at the time of his departure.

Dziok declined to elaborate further on the situation that unfolded, but suggested that the episode experienced by Bachmann should not be received as a cause for concern.

Citing three individuals who have worked in close proximity to Bachmann, the Daily Caller reports that Dziok's account was not an isolated incident, and that Bachmann suffers from migraines on a regular basis and has been hospitalized multiple times as a result.
