Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should consult neurophysician and get done
1. Clinical examination of central nervous system.
2. MRI brain.
You are having following risk factors for stroke.
1. Light headed ness.
2. Positive Family history of stroke
3. One sided weakness in the body.
So consult neurophysician first and rule out stroke.
In stroke management, early diagnosis and treatment is the key in recovery.
So first rule out stroke for your symptoms.
