I am 52 and postmenopausal 2.5 yrs. now. I recently had an MRI of the brain and was found to have vascular changes in the brain and was reported to have mild to moderate microvascular disease and was put on a 325 mg. Bayer aspirin daily. I am overweight and going to see a dietician and have joined a gym to help out on my part. What does or can this diagnosis mean for me?
Hello, I would explain that these changes are usually related to arterial hypertension, obesity, diabetes or dyslipidemia. For this reason, I agree with your doctor on trying to lose some weight, taking regularly aspirin and try to maintain normal blood pressure values. This will help stop the progression of such changes. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wish you good health.
