Hi,Greetings from HCM.Since you were initially diagnosed as having stroke doctors will put you on blood thinning medicines as a first line of treatment.Problem with anticoagulants like aspirin clopidogrel will produce bleeding complications if the dosage is not titrated.This has resulted in heamorrhage or heamarthrosis.Since MRI is not suggestive of stroke you can stop or withhold blood thinners for time being and wait to subside
