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?
