Vascular dementia?

[shaldonkoolma]

Bit worried today. Had ischaemic stroke, in August 2018, following AF, (now on anticoagulants) and have a suspicion that maybe I had some very minor ones before (a few times I had balance issues, and anxiety and depression. They are all ok now, but started about the same time as my AF.

My MRI in August 18 showed white matter hyperintensities, and I have a follow up one to check these white bits again.

I'm having a bit of a panic that I might have vascular dementia coming. I'm 53.
