Hello,

Multiple lacunar lesions may cause dementia that is the one of the cause for Alzheimer’s disease. Use anti-hypertensive medicine and blood thinners with anti-cholesterol medicine.

Please consult your neuro psychiatrist, he/she will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
