How can I lower my blood pressure in-flight?

My blood pressure always goes up when I'm flying and I'm pretty uncomfortable with that. My doctor says that this is normal because I feel so nervous. Is there anything that I can do to lower it while flying?

Anxiety increases blood pressure. Trying to be calm by practicing breathing exercises or yoga can be helpful.
