Do goldfish have strokes
@Patfish in answer to that I would say yes they can, I've seen a koi die from a heart attack at one of our shows
However Looking at the photo of your fish i would say that you have issues with water quality in your pond
The fish looks stressed out of to the eyeballs at the moment so please may I have all your water Parameters so we can start getting to the bottom of this that's Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite, Ph and Kh.
Its around this time of year that we often see problems with our fish , nines out of ten it turns out to be water quality issues after a long hard winter and normally a water change and filter clean will help do the job.
But it could also be health related in that the fish has an issue with parasites or may even have some sort of bacterial issues .
Do you have a microscope ( they are must have piece of kit
@Patfish ) They are a must to help you in the diagnoses of of health problems by use of a scrape with a credit card from front to back of your fish to get a sample of Mucus .
Then by spreading the mucus onto the microscope slide and viewing it through your scope you will discover if you have parasites or not
