Problem
Blood Pressure Greater Than 130/85 mm Hg But Lower Than 160/100 mm Hg
Sometimes you just need to get your blood pressure down now! How can you do it? I know you have probably seen the YOUTUBE videos with this claim such as the one below by the website “Healthy Me.” You can’t help but be skeptical because it is so simple.
Breathing? Just breathing in a certain way could help bring blood pressure down? Are you kidding me?
Nope…I have seen various breathing techniques to bring blood pressure down gradually withing minutes.
Dr. Andrew Weil wrote a book about the technique he highly recommends. See this link for that information: https://www.drweil.com/health-wellness/body-mind-spirit/stress-anxiety/breathing-three-exercises/
Try This Solution
Several of the techniques really work to bring blood pressure down because they involve relaxing the blood vessels.
For example, taking a hot shower, placing you feet in hot water, taking deep breaths, meditations all could work within minutes.
In fact, there is a device called Resperate that brings blood pressure down without using antihypertension medication.
You can purchase the device for about $300. See this link for more information about Resperate: https://www.resperate.com/shop-resperate?utm_source=bg&utm_medium=brand&utm_campaign=us-branded&msclkid=14550cfa6f741f53af3e50437e20c212
However, you might can use the breathing techniques in the video below to get similar results if you use the same frequency.
Example
Take a look at the Healthy Me video below. Here, he is talking while taking his blood pressure. Do not talk while taking your blood pressure because you will not get an accurate reading. It is best to be seated at a table with feet flat, arm and back supported.
Visit Dr. Adam J Story for the original video on YOUTUBE CALLED How to lower blood pressure in minutes. But take a look , this does work!
Of course, check with your health care provider if ever your blood pressure is elevated for appropriate guidance. Elevated blood pressure is serious business, especially if the top number is 160 or more or the bottom number is 100 or more. Even lower numbers might be serious for you based on your health history.
Ask your health care provider if any of these techniques could be useful for you.
