Default Confusing Neurological test results...please advise

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I recently had a VEEG done. I do not have epilepsy, but I've had an off-balance, sometimes near fainting feeling since mid-September 2014, and I've had many different doctors do many different tests, so I guess that's why they gave me the VEEG. I took the test home for 3 days. I had no "episodes" since I don't have epilepsy.

I received the results back today and it says:


Impression: "This is borderline abnormal awake and asleep video EEG due to the presence of mild intermittent focal slowing in the left temporal region."


Clinical Correlation: Above finding is inconclusive but the possibility of focal cerebral dysfunction in the left temporal region cannot be excluded. Therefore, further clinical and radiographic correlation is suggested.

*The abnormality is listed as "slowing" and the amplitude is listed as: 30-110 mcv

What should I make of this?


I already had an MRI of the brain done on December 27, 2014, and nothing has changed for me since then.


What could be the cause of this borderline abnormality? Since I already had an MRI of the brain, what other tests can possibly be done to see what this abnormality may be about?


I'm going to have a follow-up with the VEEG doctor on March 4, but in the meantime, any suggestions?


What's the worst they can find and what is the least invasive way to treat it?


I am a 30 year old Hispanic male born and raised in New York City. Any help would be appreciated.
