High blood pressure itself doesn’t cause clots.
This is wrong.
High blood pressure cause’s atherosclerosis/plaque. Eventually the plaque erodes or ruptures and activates platelets by reacting to shite in the blood
Activated platelets form a thrombus (clot). This thrombus narrows arteries and if it’s enough results in acute ischemic strokes.
High cholesterol mixed with high blood pressure makes this even worse

Cameron Diaz -> stress/highblood pressure -> stroke -> coma. Hate to see a good actor down.

A plaque/atherosclerosis is not the same as a “clot”.
Yes, over years and years of uncontrolled blood pressure you can have narrowing of your blood vessels and can have a ruptured thrombus leading to a stroke. This is different than A-fib causing stasis of blood in the left atrium which can lead to a blood clot being transferred to his brain causing a stroke.
Two very different mechanisms. Most medical professionals would agree a “clot” is more associated with blood coagulating not atherosclerosis.

But doesn't the human body produce clots (thrombi) almost daily? Thrombi are stationary clots. Our defenses usually break these up. They become an embolus once detached and moving in our circulatory system.
