I am on a statin, high blood pressure pills , an aspirin a day, my heart is erratic, I fire very easily, and am losing interest in everything. Altho my cardiologist is ordering nuclear testing, she feels the disease is progressing and there is little probably can be done. I'm looking for any input from anyone. Dizzy spells and off balance has become a problem....anyone have any symptoms like this.

Hi Sally,
My symptoms are very similar to yours, with some memory problems and TIA's as well. Unfortunately there isn't much you can do about it as your doctor stated. My neurologist said "you can't rotoroot your brain". Exercise is probably the best thing, exercising your body AND your brain. Hopefully the additional brain cell death and lacunar strokes cause by CSVD will not be too rapid and you'll be able to enjoy life for a long time. Good luck!

Hi Amandajro, I'm also getting dizzy sometimes lose balance.im on satins and colpedogral for heart,BP tablets.
