Could The Headaches Be Due To Symmetrical Cerebral Atrophy And Parletal White Matter?

Hi, I have been having severe headaches on the right side of my head. Had an MRI and it stated that I had nonenhancing T2 and FLAIR hyperintense lesions in right frontal and bilaterial posterior parletal deep white matter, as well as symmetrically lining the lateral bentricles. Most like chronic microvascular ischemic sequel AND moderate symmetrical cerebral atrophy. I am 65 years old. Have never had a headache like this. I have been experiencing this on the left side of my head since December 13, 2013. What do I have?
