I have diagnosed with microvascular brain disease. I feel lightheaded, balance is off and just feel weak. Does anyone out there have these symptoms also? I am 71 years old and it's freaking me out

I also have cmvd. Balance issues are definitely one of my major issues, but I haven't experienced weakness problems. If you have access to your MRI report it should show which areas of your brain are affected and you can look them up to see what functions are likely to be compromised.

I’m 70 and have the same. Although not weak. These changes are pretty normal for aging adults. Keith is correct.
Keep a watch and maybe get an MRI every two years.
