As 1 of my drivers found out a few years ago , DO NOT get your EX WIFE to drive you to the Drs appointment and stop at McDonalds on the way for XL COFFEE . HIS BP was a bit HIGH

Lots of advice on here, some good, some not so good. But the bottom line, Ralph, is how is your blood pressure in your normal day to day life? Do you KNOW what it normally is? If not, you should. As was suggested, get yourself a BP cuff & stethoscope, or one of the BP machines that drugstores sell. DO NOT depend on the machines that are set up in Walmart or other stores, as they may or may not be somewhere near accurate.
If you have high blood pressure on a normal basis, you are a walking time bomb and need to get it taken care of. I KNOW this is not what you want to hear, but you NEED to hear and heed it.
If your only problem is the nervousness of the physical, then there is a lot of good advice been given.
Good luck!Skydivedavec, EZ Money, cc tanker and 1 other person Thank this. -
I like the 2 hookers for the threesome suggestion. If I did that they would have to check my blood pressure to make sure I was still breathing.

Cut coffee, soda, salt, sugar, starch. minimize red meat, eat fish lots of veggies. Start walking 1/2 hour a day, sleep 8 hours per night or what ever shift you sleep. Stay away from the old lady and dispatchers. Learn to control your breathing, deep steady breaths.

Sx has gotten a lot better and more frequent since I started using Oxygen. I think my wife has a Darth Vader fetish.............I'll bet you Cpap dudes already figured that out....

No caffine at all. Drink water and long deep breaths

Donate a pint before you go in. Less fluid in the system means lower pressure. Also may save somebodies life that needs blood.
