Degenerative changes in Spine.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for being here again.

I have gone through your MRI report which mentions about disc bulges at cervical(C3-C4,C4-C5 and C5-C6) and lumbar(L3-L4,L4-L5 and L5-S1) spine.These changes will not cause migraine or the low BP problem you mentioned.

These are degenerative spine changes.These changes usually result in back/neck/extremities pain and paresthesias(abnormal sensations) in extremities, which you have not mentioned in your complaints.Anyhow,I would suggest you to get your 25-hydroxy vitamin D status done to rule out vitamin D deficiency.

Hope it helps.If you have further questions,you are most welcome.
