Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. Experiencing fainting with history of stroke is not a good sign. It would indicate that you could be having insufficient blood supply to vital areas of the brain. You need to get a CT scan done study where could be the blockage for the supply of blood to the brain. Also you need to keep a check on blood glucose levels and blood pressure. Kindly visit a Neurologist to get investigated thoroughly and treated for the same at the earliest. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
