Brief Answer:
CT scan is normal for her age.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your grandmother's symptoms and CT scan brain report. The CT scan report shows mild atrophy (shrinkage of brain), which is normal for that age.

For headache & fainting, we need to look for other causes such as low BP, low sugar, etc.

How is her condition now?

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,

Brief Answer:
There is no prescription.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.

I had seen her correct age earlier that is printed on CT scan report.

This is not a serious condition, as the scan report is within normal limits for a 74 year old.

Prescription has not been attached.

Best wishes,

Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)

Thank you for sending the prescription.

They have also done the EEG, as mentioned on the prescription and the blood sugar, which are both normal. This is a good news!

The treatment is going along correct lines.
