From Wikipedia
The Valsalva maneuver is performed by forcibly exhaling against a closed airway. Variations of the maneuver can be used either in medicine, as a test of cardiac function and autonomic nervous control of the heart or to 'clear' the ears and sinuses (equalize pressure) when ambient pressure changes, as in diving or aviation. The technique is named after Antonio Maria Valsalva, the 17th Century physician and anatomist from Bologna, whose principal scientific interest was the human ear. He described the Eustachian tube and the maneuver to test its patency (openness). He also described the use of this maneuver to expel pus from the middle ear. A modified version is done by expiring against a closed glottis. This will elicit the cardiovascular responses described below but will not force air into the eustachian tubes.

The valsalva maneuver can dangereously increase blood pressure?
In all my years of SCUBA diving, this had never come up as a potential hazard. I was close to dismissing this question but a little googling shows that the Valsalva maneuver can, indeed, result in an elevated blood pressure. Seems to me that it would need to be some really aggressive Valsalva-ing and a susceptible individual for it to be dangerous. See the link for one opinion.

A "pinch" is just that... such as a pinch of salt in a recipe. I was told at one point that a Pinch works out to about 1/8th of a teaspoon, but it's probably even a little less than that. To do "a pinch of salt", one would pinch some salt between their fingers and put it in the recipe.
