Detailed Answer:
Hello
welcome to health care magic!
I have read your question and it says that you have anxiety problem and mri scan brain shows hyperintense shadows in peri ventricular area.
I would like to tell you that ecosprin is not an anti anxiety medicine. Your doctor must have started it looking at the mri findings to prevent these hyperintensities from increasing.
It will be wise if you see a MD Medicine for the further management of the findings of mri.
As for now I dont think that there is anything significant to worry about so much.
For your anxiety, if I have a similar patient in my clinic I usually start sertraline in a dose of 25-50mg once a day , after meals.
Along with this, I give etizolam 0.5mg once a day. Etizolam can be repeated if the person feels more anxiety anytime during the day.
It is advisable to avoid driving after taking etizolam if one feels drowsy.
Dont worry, you will be fine.
Avoiding tea, coffee and cold drink also helps.
I hope the reply helps.
Wish you a speedy recovery!

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing back.
After reading your follow up reply the situation is more clear.
Yes, both the psychiatric and neurologists medication are fine.
With ecospirin the clots can dissolve, as well as there will be reduction in their further formation as well.
Betacap given by the psychiatrist can sometimes give hypotension or dizziness or palpitation to some people. So, if there is such complaints then you can check your blood pressure. Usually the betacap is stopped after initial few days.
Please stop bothering yourself. Anxiety is the most common problem now a days but goes untreated due to lack of awareness. Its good that you are taking correct medication at right time. You will become fine in few days itself.
Wish you a speedy recovery.
