Stroke

About 3 weeks ago I suffered a stroke. I’m only 21 and I wasn’t flying at the time, nor have I flown since. The only symptom I had was slight double vision and that passed within 10 minutes. It was only about a week later, after examining the scans of my head that the neurologist told me I'd had a stroke. The cardiologist found a small hole in my heart, which he plugged with a PFO a couple of days later, and I was cleared to drive the morning after.

I am currently over half way through my training; I have my PPL and CSU/RG, and was very close to sitting my CPL flight test. What sort of chance do I have of getting a Class 1 medical again? I’ve had a look through the CASA site, but I can't find anything about it.
