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.
