Lower blood pressure overnight?
My buddy scored a little high on his BP at work today and stands to have his medical deductible increased...alot. They said they would retest him tomorrow, he was over by only one point but workin' for the "Man" sometimes doesn't afford you a personal exception when you are close.
Anybody know of an overnight solution to help him out?
There isn't a solution that works overnight. Best thing to do is relax, deep slow breaths, happy thoughts, and all that sh*t while testing. This miiiight help a little if he's only a few digits over the 120/80 mark.

I should add - even if he gets on bp meds, a good diet and exercise plan, it'll be a while before he sees any real changes.

Bananas can lower your bp. Have him eat one an hour or so before the test.
May try hibiscus. Its a vaso dilator that you can buy in stores. No promises but it may help, it shows some rigjt now reaction, may try it then head to a walgreens or firehouse to test it
lots of celery too. There's something in it that reduces inflammation in blood vessels

An aspirin probably can't hurt either.

Have him also drink lots of water to hydrate before testing. Helps lower pressure a few points, especially if he hasn't been keeping up on staying hydrated before the first test.
Make sure he doesn't drink any coffee before the test. I've been able to lower mine quite a bit by focusing on slowing my heart down when it's being taken. I'm sure the stress induced by having his back against the wall won't help. Good luck to him.
