I have this as well. I’m 69. It is not unusual as we grow older. I’ve cut back on caffeine. And take a statin for my cholesterol…although it also helps stem progression of the plaque on the brain. Doing fine, although sometimes I get that “whoosh” dizziness that just takes me out for about one second. It’s a weird feeling.
Hello @bamaobie1 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. As this is your fist post, I'm wondering if you would share some of your symptoms that led to this diagnosis.
Also, what scans or testing did your doctor do to confirm that you had "microvascular ischemia?"
