No caffeine day of test is the first thing. No salt the day before or day of either. Try this, and get your BP checked at a walk-in clinic or public health unit (not the place you're getting your physical). If it's fine there, go straight to the doc that can clear you and get it done. If you try this and it's still high, try to score some Valium or Ativan...it will relax you and your BP will go down enough to pass for sure, since it's barely high right now anyways.

DO you got big arms????? If so tell her that she needs to take your blood pressure with a larger cuff or do it on the leg. It may sound cocky but its true. You can even take the blood pressure on the forearm as well if all else fails. If your arm is about 16.5 or bigger I would suggest a diffrent cuff size for sure bro!!!!!!Comment

Not neccessarily bad, but the caff will raise your BP just as stress will, and water retention (sodium).Comment

This is an excellent point that I missed. Technique is very important in measuring a bp with a cuff, as dumb as it sounds.........its not as easy as you would think. If the cuff is too large it reads low, if its too small it reads high, if you go to slow letting the air out of the cuff when reading it will read high, or if you go too fast it ususally is inaccurate.Originally posted by DOA
