Suggest Treatment For Small White Spots On The Brain

Good Afternoon. I am concerned with a very sensitive topic. My mother had an MRI a few months ago (around December). The physician claimed that she had a few unidentified white spots on her brain. She had been, and still experiences headaches and numbness on her face when she gets headaches. I looked up symptoms for major issues such as brain tumors, which involve seizures, impairment, etc which my mom does not experience. My mother has high blood pressure, she s been very worried about her family due to personal reasons, thus she has been going through a tough time these past two years. I am curious to know if her blood pressure is causing her headaches, which lead to her brain spots. My mother recently went though another MRI this month to be sure that she is healthy and safe. Since we are waiting for the results, I would like to know most-likely outcomes and possibilities with this issue. Thank You.
