Hi,
Try having an ice cold drink of water in the morning followed straight away by a really hot drink, hot enough so that you can only sip it at first. Then have a few bites of an apple.

Red wine always does it for me.

Did you try a magnesium supplement? According to what I've read, most of us don't get enough magnesium through our diet. And the advice is to increase the number of capsules until you get diarrhoea, then to lower the dosage. So, magnesium might be worth a try. I take it for BP reasons as well.
