Hello,

I passed carefully through your question and would like to know if you have performed a brain MRI or any Doppler ultrasound of the peripheral arteries in your limbs. If you have not performed any of these tests yet, I would recommend performing them.

Regarding small vessel disease, I would recommend taking daily aspirin 80-100mg daily (if no contraindications) and trying to maintain your blood pressure and fasting glucose under control. Periodical check up with resting ECG, blood lipid profile, kidney and liver function tests, et cetera are needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
