Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and the MRI brain findings.
These small foci of hyperintese lesions are due to
ischemia (lack of blood flow to brain). The underlying risk factors for these lesions in your case are blood sugar, high BP and
cholesterol. If your heart rhythm abnormality is due to atrial
fibrillation, then, that could also be a risk factor.
These lesions indicate a higher risk of stroke in you, which can lead to
paralysis. So, I would advise you to be on
aspirin tablets to prevent stroke in future.
In addition, your risk factors as mentioned above should be kept under good control.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
