Hey man dont feel like an idiot. Just go back there and nail it!
A few tips on high blood pressure, if you dont exercise, start. Like today, go for a walk, or a jog, or something. Drink lots of water. If you were nervous that probably shot your blood pressure up sky high.
When I went to this treatment center for getting my knee rehab'd, I got my blood pressure check and it turned out to be high then too. I was nervous, abit anxiotous, and hadnt exercised for a week and a half before hand.
I went to my family doctor a week or two later, I had exercised a little bit more then i had been, drank lots of water, and wouldnt ya know it, the doc tested it, and it was perfect.
Kinda amazing how much it can change just for a few things.

Yeah, theres no real way to completely avoid it.. But you can minimize it.
Stress is a crap deal too, I hope ya get unstressed so you can go back and pass with flying colors!
Either that or just take a few shots of whiskey before ya go back, thin that blood out a little haha.
