Why do abnormal MRI and MRA show cognitive decline, fatigue, and anxiety?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

The doctor told me to do MRI and MRA, which showed abnormal changes. Very concerned with ongoing symptoms. I have cognitive decline, fatigue, and anxiety. Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

These MRI(magnetic resonance imaging) and MRA(magnetic resonance angiography) changes are not specific or related to your symptoms. I recommend checking blood lipid profile and thyroid hormone levels, vitamin D, and vitamin B12 plasma levels. The white matter changes are not specific to any medical disorder. I recommend following up with a brain MRI after a year. In the meantime, I recommend taking daily baby aspirin. Regarding the changes in MRA, performing a contrast enhancement MRA is necessary, which is more specific for the blood flow and atherosclerotic plaques. I recommend consulting with a psychiatrist to help treat anxiety. Yoga can help in this regard.

I hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards.
