What can happen if you have bad/narrowing blood vessels to your brain?


Question:
Dr's have found 2 brain tumors 2 years ago, now they say they are gone, but I have narrowing/bad blood vessels to my brain, and have had a few minor strokes, what else can happen or should I be worried about, I havent seen my other neurologist yet, but was wondering if I should get another opinion or what to do??

Answers:
I'm not a neurologist or a cardiologist, so this is just pure logic I could think of. You still should check your neurologist or cardiologist or any specialist for the more detail and probably accurate answer.

I think if you have a bad or narrowing blood vessels it mean that the blood might get the brain or the rest of your body at a lower rate than normal. In addition, depending on your diets, if they're high in fat, you might be more susceptible to have clotting vessel because of the narrow blood vessels than people have do not have bad/narrowing blood vessel. This could lead to the delay of oxygen to the brain and causes stroke. I think you should take care of your diet, exercise moderately to develop your cardiac muscle. Think positive and make your appointment to the doctor on time :-)

stroke
i don't kno
strokes would be first thing that i think of. i would get opinion as to what to do to prevent problems! prevention -- it's better than "after" treatment!
Yes, please get as much help as possible with this because it is ultimately the integrity of a healthy brain at risk.

If your neurologist hasn't provided you sufficient information (which I gather form your question), then you definitely need another opinion.

I hope he explained what is causing it and what the plan is to stop it.
you could have a stroke due to decreased blood flow to the brain. there are some preventive meds, you should get a second opinion and help before you have a major stroke.
Narrowed arteries n the brain are same as narrowed arteries in the heart. In the heart they cause heart attack, in the brain they cause stroke. However, like the heart, brain arteries can often be fixed and re-expanded. See a Neuro and good luck.
You probably aren't getting enough blood to your brain. You might have a stroke, you might have brain damage, your thinking may be impaired but you may be fine! :)
Cerebral ischemia leading to stroke. You should consult a Neurosurgeon.
