Also an MRI shows multiple mini strokes in my brain.I have had hypertension for 35 years and have episodic elevations ,the cause of which has not been determined.I am on coumadin and also take Prednisone for PMR and ? of Temporal Arteritis and BP meds. I am a 78yr old female and would like any information on the above medical problems, especially the heart problems.Thankyou.
