it was me.
high bp caused a very mild stroke last summer.
i bought a bp monitor, and started, over several months, checking what raised my bp.
i find that 2500 or less milligrams of salt per day and lots of vigorous exercise twice a day and at least 5 hours of sleep per night have allowed me to discontinue blood pressure meds. i am almost entirely in the 110/70 range now without medication.
i rarely eat fast food and have cut my quantities of food significantly.
