Question Blood Pressure - Again!

Been to the archives but could not find it.

Is there a safe and easy way to lower ones blood pressure for a few hours, to satisfy a medical board that assumes that a fifty year old is as fit as young fighter pilots?

I do appreciate that the only way to do it properly is by self discipline regarding food, exercise, booze etc. but, although I live in the 'normal' range, I still manage to peak above limits for a medical board.

Would appreciate information about a safe 'quick fix' for those rare times that common sense does not prevail.

P.S. What do 'Beta-Blockers do please?
