Dear- thanks for using HCM, garlic is good to control BP but does not help heart rate. Fish oil helps to lower the bad cholesterol or LDL, does not help the blood pressure. However, both are very good for the heart. If you have been training for this test, your body will respond to it.
I hope that my advise has been helpful.
