Brief Answer:
Get investigated and take treatment as advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and reports and understand your concerns.
The Mri findings are suggestive of age related brain atrophy. Hypertension also accelerates the process of brain atrophy.
Other causes which can be cured should be evaluated like blood sugar, Thyroid profile, vitamin B 12 deficiency.
The headache is probably due to anxiety and tension and drugs are prescribed accordingly.
Blood pressure needs to be managed under 140/90 mm Hg.
Drugs like paroxitine and D venizep to be continued.
Betacap can be stopped as it may lead to some dizziness in some person.
Vertin 16 mg thrice daily can be used for dizziness and vertigo.
Mri spine is good according to this age.
Nothing serious at present.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further queries.

Hello,
Antiplatelet agents like ecospirin can be added if risk of stroke is high which can be assessed after investigation for diabetes and lipid profile.
Reversal in brain changes are less likely but prevention for future can be attained.
