I recently figured out that it’s good for me to sit in that waiting room or examination room before being seen by the doctor. It gives me time to settle down.
Also, while I’m waiting, I try to visualize something that makes me feel calm and comfortable, like being at the beach, or sitting in a hammock just being lazy. I think it’s helped my blood pressure drop several points.
So for me, it’s either these techniques are helping, or the supplements I’m taking somehow manage to lower my BP.

I close my eyes and visualize petting our softest cat, Lilly. It could work, as my BP is very good. Maybe it would be fine anyhow; I don’t know.
