Breathe in 4 heartbeats. Hold for 4 then let the air out slowly making sure whatever it is bothering you goes out with that exhalation.
When you get into the OHMS, get back to me. -
Tried that , my heart started racing faster

Make sure your feet are flat on the floor. Get your phone and look at pictures of good times. If you don't have any pictures, google someplace that you enjoy. Focus and do deep breathing technique.

132/ 80 is on the high side of the passing scale. Needs to.come down more. Go see your doc and get it taken care of

Advice give tongue in cheek. However while it will work. Get some nitro. Instant low BP.

I have this same issue. BP only high at DOT physical, which it never is at my regular Doctor. They should allow you to lie down and rest for a few minutes. Try listening to some peaceful music. If nothing else you should get a 1 year card with that BP but you will get a 3 month next year if not under 140/90. Best wishes! I know exactly what you are going through. Also, lose weight. That is the best thing to lower blood pressure.

Labile hypertension, or borderline hypertension, is a term used to describe blood pressure measures that may fluctuate abruptly and repeatedly from normal to high. Increases in blood pressure may be a reaction to emotional stress.
