There is also a thin rim of periventricular T2 increased signal at the posteerior aspect of the lateral ventricle on the left. There is a single 9.8 mm oval-shape T2 hyperintense focus within the posterior aspect of the right periventricular white matter. The findings certainly could be related to multiple sclerosis though other demyelinating etiologies including vascultits, chronic ischemic microangiopathy as well as infectious etiology such as Lyme's disease cannot be totally excluded. Clinical correlation is necessary.
I have dealt with a high pulse / low blood pressure for a couple of yrs and I wonder if it could be related to MS.

Well.... I can't help you understand much other than you have some lesions and they can't dx you just on your MRI. You need to have your doctor do physical exams and other blood work.
I have always ran a little low on my bp and found out in 2008 that I have Postural Othorstatic Tachycardia Syndrome, which means my heart rate goes up to around 170 just by standing but gets down to low 50's upper 40's at night or resting. But I have found some sites that say it can be caused as a symptom of MS or another disease I have.
I hope you get some answers soon!
