What Does This Brain MRI Report Indicate?

hi i am 61 yr old female, experienced a few bouts of dizziness during yoga. had MRI of brain with contrast...no abnormality of auditory canals or cerebellopontine angles. Tiny areas in the deep frontal white matter and the basal ganglia that are nonspecific but commonly represent small foci of ischemic change. (this is my area of concern) no sinus or mastoid disease evident, pituitary gland is normal in size all else is normal only findings were the white matter. Dr. didn t seem too concerned about the ischemc change, I am concerned. I am very active and healthy do have elevated blood pressure on meds Losartin and would like your opinion on the above..should i seek out neurologist? Thank you,
