Brief Answer:
TIAs /white matter ischemia
Detailed Answer:
Dear sir
Hello
I have gone through your medical history in detail
MRI BRAIN revealed bilateral white matter signal changes which seem to be WHITE MATTER ISCHEMIC CHANGES. These changes are noted due to transient ischemic attacks (TIA) or due to microvascular obstructions.
May I suggest you to
1. Take some ANTIPLATELET medication to prevent future TIA / stroke.
2. Get your LIPID PROFILE & COMPLETE CARDIAC CHECK UP to rule out any atherosclerotic changes
3. Control your BLOOD PRESSURE / BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS// WEIGHT at optimum levels
4.Take opinion from a local neurologist for complete check up & management
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery
