    You unloaded a trailer (exercise) and didn't eat (fasted) and you're surprised your BP was better?

    It was mentioned on the first page, and worth repeating--drink beet root juice.

    It works due to the concentration of nitrates within it. The nitrates increase nitric oxide production, which in turn relaxes blood vessels, thus lowering both systolic and diastolic pressure. It works on the same principle as some BP meds. Results are quick, and it produces even better results over time if you drink the stuff daily.

    Pre workout supplements do the trick for me.

    Look at the ingredients in pre workout supplements. Most contain caffeine and some other stimulate s to get you revwd up to workout. Not lower your B P. I would not take the test, buy a little machine under a $ 100, or go to Walmart ,they have A B P machine, it's free. Find out if you are higher than the rate for the D O T . If you are , get a Doctor's Apointmen, get some meds, get it down, you can then get a 1 year Dot card, not a big deal.Been there done that.
