Thankfully I recovered from the stroke very quickly with no lasting effects.

Curious, were you on pain meds for the extreme pain when the bp spike happened? I'm asking, because after my surgery I was on pain meds for 2 months, and my normally very low bp was suddenly high. As soon as I was off the meds(Percocet), I went back to low.
