    I'm surprised smoking and coffee wasn't mentioned. That's my secret to passing

    So, it's not enough to eat a lot of Cinnabon???
    I think it's actually hurting.... Fat guys run slower.

    Minus the caffeine. Can't stand coffee.

    My bp drops to the point of dead with no cig for 24 hours.

    No caffeine.
    Don't smoke.
    No salt.
    Two aspirin's a few hours before the test will knock 5 to 8 points off.

    Cinnamon helps with BP too. Also, with a finger pinch your left nostril shut and breath only through your right. Do this for 5 to 10 minutes. You will notice almost instantly.

    Learn this from a DR take 10 to 15 really deep breaths till you get light head and your bp will drop do this just before the test or in the waiting room works every time

    Aspirin and other NSAIDs can actually increase blood pressure. That's why Doctors recommend a low dose (81mg) given at night for those interested in aspirin therapy.

    Not aspirin therapy daily use. Just a one shot deal for occasional users.
    I've done it myself.
    Two aspirin before you leave to go to the doctor, good for 5 to 8 points.
