I dont drink, but if alcohol lowers your BP short term, will do. I know it will increase it over the long term though. Anything else. No benzos.

Relaxation techniques, like listening to soft music, take a bath or shower, eat healthy food, limit salt, turn off the ringer on your phone, go for a walk outside, go to lunch or dinner with a friend, pet your cat or dog.

For one thing, if your blood pressure is out of control, take some aspirin to protect your heart in case you have some clots that might cause a stroke or a heart attack. Do that now. Then call 911 and do what the nice person on the phone says. I would hesitate to drink anything alcoholic if you don't drink, now is not the time to experiment. You need to get on the phone, now, to 911. The only thing I can tell you besides taking the aspirin is try to cool down and calm down...take off constricting clothing, etc. to cool down, I can't tell you how to calm down, can't teach meditation over the net in an emergency, so...aspirin, and do what you can to cool off as you walk slowly to the phone and dial 911. NOW.

Not all anti hypertensive drugs slow the pulse rate like beta blockers do. All seem to have some side effects, your doctor will change your medication if you really feel light headed and lethargic - the dieting won't help, unless you are on a sensible regime.
