Doing just a few minutes of deep breathing exercises usually makes my blood pressure drop dramatically. It's hard to keep this habit up, though, but I know that there are apps and devices available to help you out here. This isn't really a "relaxation" exercise or anything, although it helps. Rather, because we all sit on our keisters most of the time we forget to take the kinds of deep breaths that we would ordinarily take while being out and about and active, and the shallow breathing that we end up doing instead stresses our system. Of course, actually "being out and about and active" would generally help a lot, too, as would pretty much any increase in exercise levels.
