For this reason, I would recommend you to closely monitor his blood pressure values in the next days.   If his blood pressure values are above the normal ranges (125/85mm Hg) most of the time, I would recommend consulting with his attending physician and discussing starting anti-hypertensive therapy and a beta blocker.  Otherwise, I would recommend trying to focus on his anxiety. In this regard, Yoga and meditation can help.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
