is this common with a history of migranes
Brief Answer:
Yes, it is common with migraines.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your history and MRI brain findings.
These MRI findings are commonly seen in people with a history of migraine and does not require any additional treatment. Treatment should be as for migraine.
However, a screening should be done to look for high BP, sugar or cholesterol, which could increase the risk of brain ischemia (reduced blood supply to the brain).
I hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,
