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.
