Since 2009 I have been seeing one neurologist after another for several symptoms that have presented themselves over the years. I finally learned that on an MRI that was done in 2009 that Microvascular Brain Disease was noted in the written report, but nothing was ever said to me. Finally three months ago, I was told that I indeed had Microvascular Brain Disease. I was experiencing dizzy spells, falling down, lack of balance, dropping things, and extreme fatigue. Are these typical symptoms of Microvascular Brain Disease or should I keep pushing for more answers?
Hi, The answer to your question is yes, these symptoms may be justified by microvascular brain disease and probable ministrokes. The main cause of this condition is high blood pressure. Other factors include diabetes, atrial fibrillation, high cholesterol, etc. So, you should be checked and treated for these possible causes of the microvascular brain disease in order to prevent progression. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
