Only offered aspirin, after multiple cryptogenic strokes

I’m only 28, and have no risk factors for stroke. I’ve had at least 2, now, that the doctors can identify, but they can’t tell what type. No cause has been identified, but I now have stroke-related damage to my optic nerves, and 2 other areas of my brain.

The doctor only wants to offer me aspirin, nothing else. I was under the impression that aspirin is dangerous for hemorrhagic stroke, so I’m not super comfortable taking it. I also want to have kids, work in fashion, around pins and needles, and I’m a horseback rider, so being on a blood thinner sounds like a nightmare.

I see other people are offered more care than just aspirin. I’m wondering why that’s all they want to give me? The doctor said “the chances of someone your age having a repeat stroke is about 1% a year”, but also acknowledges I’ve had at least 2 strokes. I feel like there’s something more I could be doing, that doesn’t put me at risk for all kinds of complications. Were you only offered aspirin, after multiple strokes?

This is a doctor at the CC, so I don’t feel like I can get another opinion that will be more knowledgeable than him. He’s already the top stroke doctor in my state.
