I have been diagnosed with mini-strokes due to headaches in one part of the head and an MRI several years ago.  I had severe anemia as a child, and it has never been very high even tho I am now 76.  I have had mild dizzyness for about 3 years, but able to manage it and recently got vertigo tablets.  This weekend for over 24 hours, I have been affected by vertigo and headaches. I have taken the pilss on a regular basis, but still fell a bit weak and uncoordinated.  Should I get another MRI to see if more cells are dead?
Hello, With a history of childhood anemia, vertigo medication for a while and a diagnosis of mini strokes in one part of the head with the help of MRI Brain several years ago, nothing seems seriously wrong at the moment. The MRI Brain findings corresponding to mini strokes would have been multiple small lacuna infarcts. These changes do not progress too fast and if you have no neurological complaints like limb weakness, speech and visual problems, problems in walking etc., then there is absolutely no need to worry. As for the vertigo and dizziness for which you are experiencing for 3 years now, I suggest you get yourself an ENT (ear, nose, throat) consultation. There is no need to get another MRI Brain at the moment. Hope this helps.
