<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Thank you, my aunt 72 just recently had a CT scan of the brain which showed signs of microvascular disease. She also is complaining of her body jumping while she is asleep. She is not a diabetic but does have eczema. Are the body jumping symptoms rt the microvascular disease?  <response>: Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that body jumping is not a typical sign of microvascular disease. Microvascular brain disease is usually related to chronic uncontrolled hypertension and diabetes. It can lead to small strokes or progressive dementia. But it can be a sign of seizures or a sleep disorder. Coming to this point, I would recommend performing an EEG to exclude possible seizures. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,
