Can MRI Findings Of Microvascular Ischemic Disease Cause Dizziness And Light Headedness?

I had an MRI and along with other things they said I had Microvascular ischemic disease, and MS like symptoms and atrophy of the venticuler atrium hope this makes sense to you. I have been severely dizzy and light headed would this be caused by the above? YYYY@YYYY

Neurologist,  's  Response
Dear microvascular ischemic isn't a disease.It is a radiological finding which need to be correlated with clinical findings.Anyway there is nothing to be worry because those MRI findings probably might be related to brain hypoperfusion due to chronic illness such as arterial hypertension or diabetes.You need to consult your neurologist and start treatment with antiplateled (aspirin 100-300mg per day). You can use betahistine for dizzy sensation and light headed.Wish you all the best don't hesitate to contact for further inquiry
