What Does This MRI Report Signify?

Hi Doctor, I was really negligent about my BP and Sugars all these days,and I never know this would happen( if BP and Sugars are not in control. Few weeks back I had a mild stroke (I felt discomfort and could not walk steadily went to Doctor after 48 hours )in CT SCAN and cat scan nothing was found and only in MRI slight clot was found .I could pass all the besic tests and could do all my activities properly. MRI findings ======================== MRI brain was done and that showed small right parietal periventricular deep white matter infarct of acute to subacute age, mNIHSS scores have remained zero. ยท Acute stroke: Patient is clinically stable. He seems back to baseline with no significant deficits. Patient was seen by physical therapy, ST and OT, and recommendation is outpatient OT only. ====================================== Here is my medication. Every morning 1.Major Aspir Low 81mg 2.Atorvastatin 80 MG tablet 3.one lisinopril morning I really feel stress full daily morning after I have these tablets(Doctor said it will take few weeks to recover.) AfterNOON two Metformin(sugar) Night half Atenolol 25mg(controld heartbeat snd BP) an dchangeD to two metformin AVerage sugas below 200 and fluctuating between (270 and 115 based on food intake) early morning sugars are around 200 and slowly coming down.day by day . MY Impression was Strokes: as far as I remember are only for old age people not for young ones. Being educated and knowing every basics in life I am regretting for my blunder not taking care of my health please help. I am doing walking exercises to bring sugars down. NO BP and sUgar both are in control. my ageis 43 I think for my age strokes should not happen in general. not sure how many days i need to continue asprin and can I come back to normal life and play cricket and Tennis before .is it usual to get stroke at early 40 s do people recover . what are the precautions ai need to take to be healthy.and are these cholesterol and aspirin medicines necessary

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

You seem to have got an acute stroke which might be due to multiple factors including uncontrolled hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia.

The MRI scan shows small areas of infarct around the ventricles. With proper rehabilitation and medicines you can lead a normal life. There is no need to get worried as things can be under control on taking medications.

Regards,
I find this answer helpful
