Hello

Microvascular ischemic disease of the brain result from involvement of small blood vessels.
Ischemic changes results from blood vessels changes in diseases like hypertension,diabetes mellitus,dyslipidemia.
So,you need monitoring of conditions that leads to ischemic changes like hypertension,altered lipid profile,diabetes mellitus so that further progression of disease can be halted.
You need investigations like routine hemogram,RBS,LFT,RFT,Lipid profile,ultrasound of abdomen.

Dizziness and unsteadiness may be due to increased blood pressure.
