Can anyone give me advice on how to keep my bp and sugar normal before the physical? They've never been elevated but I'm really overweight and just wondering what advice ya'll can give me. Should I skip breakfast or not also I don't drink coffee at all so not worried about caffeine elevating my bp.
DOT physical in the morning.

Stay away from sodium.I would have fruit for breakfast.Good luck,please let us know how your physical goes.Try and stay as relaxed as you can.Getting nervous and stressed will trigger your blood pressure.There are exercises you can do that'll keep your blood pressure normal youll have to google it.Also do not smoke at all tomorrow till the physical is done.Stay away from the soda drink juice.

Make sure you can sit/relax for 5 min prior. If reading is higher than normal, make sure Doc takes another 5-10 min later.

Have sex tonight. Afterglow in the morning will be beneficial.
