    Yeah, I know about that. Last time I got a physical, the nurse taking my bp asked if I was on bp medicine. I said no, which is true.
    She told me to close my eyes, and think of something relaxing. Just relax.
    So, she got another nurse to take it a few minutes later.
    Much lower, good to go. The first nurse came back around, and said "Aha! I knew it was me making you excited!"
    Sometimes, a man just can't help it.

    Is your friend on bp medicine? If not, he should see his doctor about getting it under control.
