Stroke & Class 1 CAA

5 weeks and 4 days ago I had a stroke. I am only 28. It was caused by a blood clot but they dont know why it happened, hoping to find out this Friday. I had just driven from the UK to Slovenia a couple days before it happened and I had been paragliding in the alps. Personally, I think it was because I had been sat in a car for 3 days but who knows. They flew me home.

The problem is Ive been saving to become a Helicopter Pilot and was hoping to start my lessons soon, then this happens. It was only very minor, I have lost no motor control or anything, but still im scared now of not being able to pass my medicals. I was going to wait until after Friday when I go to the stroked clinic before I said anything but I cant stand the suspnse and more. Does anyone have any experience or know anything about this?

As of this Saturday, they said I am fit to go. I.e. I can drive again, I can drink I can go paragliding I can go to the gym again etc. this Saturday. Whats the deal guys, I gotta know
