Suggest Treatment For Brain Lesions

I was diagnosed with lesions on my brain, after having a grand mal seizure. I have daily headache. This was in 2007 and also that year, after many episodes of chest pains, I was diagnosed with a flextion deformity in the arch of my aorta. My aorta is only 1/3 the size it should be, resulting in tachycardia, and almost daily chest pains. I also have severe hypertension. I had no insurance at the time, and moved to Colorado where I qualified for Medicaid. Over the last few years, I have noticed I can t concentrate on anything, and certainly can t finish anything I start. My mind is like a whirlwind. As a former nurse, I know something is wrong. I just can t focus. The meds. I take for my brain lesions is Norco 10/325 & Valium 10 mg. for headaches. For the other I take Norvasc 5 mg. HCTZ, & Lisinopril 20 mg. and Trazadone 50 mg. for sleep which does not usually work and I rarely take. This issue with my thought process is what bothers me the most as I can t think straight. I don t hear voices, but it seems in my head, I m telling myself to do 10 different things at one time. My lesions seem under control as I haven t had a seizure in years, but of course I take my Valium regularly. My flexion deformity of my aorta will always be with me, as a cardiologist in Birmingham, AL told me to go home and enjoy the rest of my life. I can t enjoy my life with my mind whirling around at 100 miles per hour. Any help for me?

Hello,

I am afraid that more information is necessary for the nature of that brain lesion. A brain lesion can mean anything, it can be a tumour, an infection, a stroke, inflammation, trauma, hypoxic injury etc.

It's impossible to make suggestions without knowing what it is.

Some brain injuries remain the same, some may worsen with no available treatments, some may improve or even be cured, so it's impossible to make any prediction or recommendations for any lesion.

The precise nature must be cleared out. So please look into your medical records about the precise diagnosis and feel free to write again.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Olsi Taka, Neurologist
