I've been a ball of stress lately and my blood pressure is through the roof. It is taking a toll on my body. I've been exercising and trying to calm down but it doesn't seem to be having much of an effect. A couple times I thought I was having a heart attack and got excited to finally die but it turned out to be nothing.
Are there other methods to lower blood pressure? Any foods?

I don't go to doctors.
I don't know if the brand names are the same in your country, but I used to take a lot of Metoprolol, BetoZK, Betaloc (for over 20 years), and my blood was still considered high (at least 130/90).
Then I was introduced to the abovementioned idea and its solution:
Home-made "well-water", i.e. pre-boiled tap water with mixed-in rock salt.
You pre-boil tap water to get a standardized boiled water (water has different chemical composition depending on where you live), then you mix in half a teaspoon of rock salt (none of that toxic "table salt" shit) into a 2L jug of water and drink 30ml/kg of your body mass throughout the day. (That's 1 tsp per 2.12 quart or 0.53 gallon; drink roughly 1,0 fl. oz. per 2 pounds of your body, in American). At the time my weight was 120kg, so I was drinking 3.6L of said water throughout the day (basically instead of any other drinks).
After 2 weeks of daily measures, my bp started to drop. I started to remove the blood pressure drugs (you can't just stop taking them or it might hurt your heart - you remove like 1/4 - 1/2 a pill daily for a week, then 1/4 - 1/2 more for 2nd week, etc.).
After 2 months of this salted-water therapy I was free from high blood pressure and the drugs. This was 7 years ago, I keep drinking salted-water as my main daily fluid source and have low blood pressure (~125/65) without drugs.
The inventor of this method was an Iran-born doctor, naturopath, named Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, that was sent by the regime to jail and took care of other prisoners, thus had a big pool of patients to discover and test this method.
Fix your diet, I guarantee you’re eating a ton of shit food.
I lived in Tokyo for 18 months and witnessed how successful their annual blood tests were to diagnose major problems before symptoms become noticeable.
I get my bloodwork done once a year.
I don't have high blood pressure.
