Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Microvascular ischemic changes(decreased blood supply) in brain typically involves small blood vessels.
You need monitoring of conditions that lead to ischemic changes like hypertension,altered lipid profile,diabetes mellitus.
You need investigations like routine hemogram,RBS,LFT,RFT,Lipid profile,ultrasound of abdomen.
If there is any more physical problems then it should be treated to prevent further progression.

Persistent fluid signal within mastoid greater on left may be due to mastoiditis.

Get well soon.
Hope i have answered your query.

Take Care
