Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms don't seem to be related to any possible stroke.

Inflammation or an infection could be the cause of your symptoms.

I recommend consulting with your doctor for a careful physical exam and perform some blood lab tests (complete blood count, inflammation tests).

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes,
Dr.Aida
