"I did the Pressure Perfect breathing for 13 minutes" >> WARNING! __ why 13 minutes and not 15 minutes?! breath 15 minutes, take a rest 15 minutes and repeat 15 minutes breathing. UP TO 120/80 is a normal BP, don''t forget it.

Did this work for you long term?

@@stevepatterson1124 sure! why not?

Hi Erica: Thank you for your kind words. It goes to show you how much stress we suffer on a daily basis and how simple breathing exercises can drastically change our lives. Keep up the great work and have a wonderful holiday season!

Hi Mae: Be sure to go to our website (www.lowermypressure.com) and print the free blood pressure record to keep track of your progress. It takes about 3-4 weeks of doing the breathing exercises to normalize your pressure all day long. We also have a free breathing app for your phone or tablet if you have an android device (sorry no apple app yet) Search the playstore for "Lowermypressure" and you'll find it. Keep up the great work!

Thankyou

Another great way to lower your blood pressure is start the home monitor, inhale through your nose for 5 secs then exhale blowing the air out through your mouth for 5 secs... do this until the monitor finishes.

Keep up the great work! It takes about a month before you'll get consistent lower BP all through the day. The RESPeRATE is an excellent device but just a bit pricey. They do have a newer model called 2breathe that works with iphones and it's about in the $200 range. Be well!

❤️🙏Im so grateful

144/75 to 117/71 in 6 minutes

Thanks for the nice words, Arty. We also have a free android app (no apple app yet). If you have an android device, search the play store for Lowermypressure and you'll find the app. Keep up the great work!

arty Ray I’m gonna give this a try. My breathing is totally off

couldnt find the app. There is no info about it on your website either

Franses Will you please explain how to utilise this video.

​@@sarankumar5319 watch the blue line rises up and start breathing in until the line reach its full lenght of the line, strat breathing out when the blue line starts going down until it comes to the bottom. repeat it for 15 minutes, until the video-clip ends, then measure your blood pressure. take a rest for 15 minutes, then repeat the same procedure and measure your BP again until you reach 120/80. GOD bless you!

You found the words. :)

Go to the doc. Those numbers are not good. Although lowered.

And there are the other vids with 12,10,8 per minute

i know Im asking randomly but does someone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me

@Philip Taylor instablaster =)

@Ronan Killian I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Ronan Killian it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much you really help me out :D

Lack of vitamin d? I was just looking that up and wondering if there was a correlation. Does taking vitamin d have an immediate effect? Because I took it one time my ears felt red from hbp and it got better. I did that again as well, same result. I was wondering if that was just a placebo or not

Also low potassium, mine drops low sometimes , though they can not tell my why and it gets dangerously low. The doctor called me on vacation to yell at me for not getting back to her sooner, her words "you could of had a hear attack!" I am younger so this was shocking to me. Still not sure why it gets low.

Vaishali Bhat how many times you do it daily?

Thx. I know it seems too good to be true, but simple breathing exercises can have a profound effect on our overall well being. I think it highlights the negative roll that stress plays in our daily lives. Keep up the great work!

How did it work out?'.

How did it work out? Did Olmesartan cause hair loss? I went from Clonidine which made me loose half my hair to Olmesartan and I'm still loosing hair. It's depressing. Will try this breathing exercise. Thanks.

@warrcc c Because of job stress, there are times that it spikes to 145/90, I prefer to be at or below 120/80. I have lost weight, cleaned up my diet and gotten off BP meds. but I need to keep close watch because of job stress.

116/83 is pretty healthy. You don`t need to do this.

@@jackprescott9652 I am now regularly 105-117 over 62-78. Exercise, stress management and breathing all contribute.

Thanks Joy. So glad to hear that Pressure Perfect was just the ticket for you. Since the exercises are just a sneaky way to meditate, you might benefit greatly by starting a daily meditation practice (if you don't already do so). Be well!

@@LowerMyPressure I have started a meditation program I’ve been doing Wim Hof breathing for 3 years and it has been great but I find for blood pressure the holding of breath for so long is not so good Thank you for your reply . I’ve Learnt a lot over the past 6 weeks about my body .

Err that annoying noise

So glad it helped. Keep up the great work!

I'm so glad it is working well for you. Please use the exercises in good health!

That happened to me also. Anyone else have this happen to them also?

+wutang310 LoL - actually you're not far off. I had someone remark that using the breathing exercises helped to keep her "regular."

Hi Vinay. We've discontinued the app because of the high cost to keep up with Google's security protocols which change quite often. We will still offer all of our KZfaq videos at no cost. If you would like the 10 minute MP3 version of the breathing exercises, just contact me by using the contact form on our website @ www.lowermypressure.com and I'll be glad to email the file to you.

Thanks, Lee. I've recently found out that sugar is even worse than salt when it comes to high blood pressure. Try not to eat foods with added sugar (like yogurt) and refined carbohydrates (like white bread, cookies, chips etc). By keeping your blood sugar low, you'll also keep your blood pressure low :-)

There is a link to our website for complete instructions but you make a very good point. I should also put the link to the instruction video directly in the video description. Thanks so much for you feedback!

LowerMyPressure directions

It takes about 3-4 weeks of daily use to stabilize your pressure to the point that it's lower all day long. Keep up the great work!

Day 2 139 over 88 pulse 64.

Day 3 , 131 over 90 pulse 63. I still can not do the full 15 minute, 8 to 12 is my max and forcing myself to take the full 5 seconds to breath in and out is a chore. I tend to take about 4 seconds to breath in and out and hold my breath for 2. I will keep trying as I want to see if the results can in fact last long term.

Day 4 , I made the 15 minutes this time. 133 over 83 pulse 70.

Day 5, 138 over 82 pulse 64.

You will find full instructions here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mpx_gb15vd7Tl6s.html

Go to yoga of the Hindus....and u'll find more such "miracles"

Harish Narayanan you mean Yogis. Nothing to do with religionists. Not that there’s anything wrong with religionists but yoga is beyond religion beyond belief beyond hope. It’s a pure science which benefits all equally whether people believe in it or not.

Sometimes the sound bothers me too. I just turn volume down or mute it. :)

Hi Dennis: Follow the line and try to time the inhale/exhale so that you are breathing in one continuous motion and not holding your breath. The 6 BPM might be a bit too hard for you when first starting, it shouldn't be a chore to keep up. I would start with our 8 BPM or 10 BPM videos and see how you feel. You don't have to do the complete 15 minutes when starting, 10 minutes will provide you with the desired effect.

So why do you advocate using continuous motion breathing as opposed to the triangular method where you breathe in, hold, and then breathe out?

Slow and continuous emulates a relaxed breathing pattern, so it doesn't trigger the "fight or flight" response. Holding the breath (in some people) signals the brain that you might be under stress. Again it depends on the individual, but personally I don't have the same relaxation results with the triangular method.

I dont watch the bar, I close my eyes and just listen. The VA had me on 3 BP meds and I do not want that. This has brought my BP down and my anxiety

Dennis have you ever looked into the "Wimhoff method"?

We tried a while back but the slow pace made it hard to synchronize the breathing bar and the sound. Unfortunately we don't have any plans to do a 4bpm version.

@@LowerMyPressure thanks for replying!

It's best to breathe through your nose if possible but breathing through your mouth is just fine too. I found that my mouth got too dry if I did the breathing exercises through my mouth only. For some people it's not possible to breathe through their nose because of allergies, deviated septum, etc. The most important part is trying to get at least ten minutes of uninterrupted time doing the breathing exercises. Consistency is the key and if you do the exercises every day you should do really well.

LowerMyPressure Thanks. I’m finding a rhythm inhaling through my nose and exhaling through my mouth but I see what you’re saying about mouth getting dry. I’ll play around with it and see what comes most natural to me. Thanks again. This will be a life saver.

Good

Hi Noun! Breathing through the nose is the best, but breathing through the mouth is just fine too. Here's a link to the instructions: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mpx_gb15vd7Tl6s.html

@@LowerMyPressure Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I'll try to practice (^_^)

Trust God! !!

Hi Chris. Thanks for the nice comments. We do have an app for android now if you have an android device. Just search for Lowermypressure in the Google play store. We are working on an app for iOS but apple is more difficult to deal with. If you have insurance you may want to do a sleep study, especially if you wake up exhausted in the morning. Good restorative sleep is one of the most important essentials to keep healthy. The breathing exercises will put you into the Alpha state and help with falling asleep but if you have sleep apnea you'll wake up all the time. Keep up the good work - be well! Joel

Thanks Joe/ didn't think somebody would respond/ would have left the sex thing out. Dont have insurance jet and think my problem is in my head mostly. I will never give up Aloha (love) or hope that i will overcome most of my obstacles and come out good. I think somehow I do keep myself up at night with my mind going around and around. Got some problems on the "outer" world and always tried to go extreme/ all the way. To control what I cant, like leaving east Maui paradise and to go back to Germany and you know what they say about change. I am open to that what ever comes. I have also the tendency to go of track and even control when I speak and what to say. Trying a little bit praying and some exercise like keep my body in shape and to focus. My friend said if I would talk to a psychiatrist, he would pay me to shut up. But thanks for the upload of the 15 minutes breathing exercise it will do me good. That's why I put it into my fav. and I will do it. Ps. My girlfriend is coming in from the other side of the island and for a time being with her will help. I try to be happy every second and it worked for some time. Again big Aloha to you and the once you love.

I'm sorry but we don't have any feedback concerning afib. I would consult with your doctor to see if they recommend the breathing exercises.

See your doctor but I take magnesium 400mg daily and mines gone. Dont go by me totally, see your doctor. Good luck. God bless

I agree on magnesium and make sure it is a good one like Life Extension with all forms of magnesium. Also if you drink wine it can cause afib of that nature and sleep apnea causes it. I have sleep apnea, red wine causes me afib and caffeine now

It does lower heart rate by relaxation but if you have a medical condition that causes a higher than normal heart rate you should be monitored by your doctor to make sure everything is okay. The breathing exercises should be done on a daily basis for about the first month and then as needed to maintain your desired results.

@@LowerMyPressure Had a heart monitor and echo and my heart is normal. I've been looking for a really good breathing technique to get my breaths under 10 per minute and hoping with practice it will become automatic. Thanks again!

Yes this is daily práctico for all life

Hi Lorraine. It really doesn't matter if you belly breath or not, it's the consistency of the breathing that matters the most. When you breathe slow and steady for at least 10 minutes (uninterrupted) your brain signals your body that it's not in "fight or flight." Your muscles will relax (especially the muscles around your blood vessels) and your blood will flow better and your blood pressure will reduce. It takes about three weeks or so of doing the exercises for your body to adapt to this lower stress level and to get a consistent lowering of your blood pressure. The exercises will also put your in the relaxed Alpha state and they are great to do when you are feeling stressed or anxious. I would wait about ten minutes or so for your BP to normalize before you take a BP reading after doing the exercises. We also have a free app for android devices if you prefer to do the exercise on a phone or tablet. The app also has an "audio only" version of the breathing program. Here's the link: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.lowermypressure Keep up the great work! Best, Joel

LowerMyPressure the app need to stay connect to internet to work!😩

It takes about 3-4 weeks of daily use until your BP will normalize so that your readings are lower all day long. Even if they put you on low dose meds the exercises should help you to stay with the lowest dose. The lower the dose, the lower the side effects :-)

Yes this it Works, my doctor check my blood pressure yesterday and ihave 120-90, live healthy, eat well, exercise,and thats all...

R H, do you have an update?

We do have the app ready to go for iOS but Apple is a pain in the rear to deal with and the approval process is daunting and four times more expensive than Android. If we move forward with the app, I will contact you.

Thank You so much! GOD bless you!!!

My pleasure, Lorraine - take care, be well!

We would tend to agree but that question would need to be answered by a qualified medical professional. Breathing exercises and meditation are great ways to deal with the stress of the day. Keep up the great work!

Here's a link to the instructions: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mpx_gb15vd7Tl6s.html

I breathe through my nose only, both inhaling and exhaling. What made this work for me is to breathe in at a very slow pace, and then MATCH that pace for the exhale. You are still following the tones for the timing, but you control the speed of your breathe. As you practice this more it becomes easier to slow down your pace. I have been doing this for almost two years, and I slow the playback speed to 75 percent, and I put the volume down, because I find that it is easier for me to relax. I feel that matching the pace of the inhale and exhale has had the biggest impact for me, and of coarse you need to be consistent and do it everyday.

Hi Kim: Once per day is all that's necessary to keep you blood pressure steady. It will take about three to four weeks of use to reach this level and then about 4-5 days a week to maintain your BP. Be well!

You may do the breathing exercises any time you feel the need to relax but there is no benefit to your blood pressure more than twice a day.

@@LowerMyPressure thanks a lot! 🙏

In my experience (so please do your own investigation with this before just taking my word for it), this depends on how long you maintain this practice. I found this program after my doctor noted that my BP was 153/103. I'm overweight and don't eat right, so she gave me the option of making lifestyle changes to lower it before being diagnosed with high BP and starting medication. I bought a home BP monitor and began seeing what worked to lower it. When I used this program at first, my BP would drop from the 150s/90s to 130s/80s. After 10 minutes or so, it would return to the higher numbers. However, after doing this for a month, I noticed that my BP was starting lower (I record my BP twice a day using an app called "BP Journal: Blood Pressure Log"). It was starting in the 140s/80s and would lower to high 120s/low 80s. Still, after 10 minutes or so, it would return to the 140s/80s. I did this program every day, twice a day, for 3 months and eventually, my BP was in the low 120s/high 70s consistently. After the breathing, it would lower to 110 - 116/70s. Again, after 10 minutes or so it would return to the 120s/70s. Still, this was much better than where I was when I started so I was happy. I am now restarting the twice a day regimen after 4 months of not monitoring my BP or doing these breathing exercises as my BP is once again in the high 140s/90s. So, yes, it works if done consistently but (from my anecdotal experience) if you stop for a long period of time, it will return to the pressures you started with unless there is some other significant change. Again, this was just my experience. Your mileage may vary.

You may do the breathing exercises any time you need to take a break from stress, it's a great way to relax. There is no added clinical benefit to doing the exercises more than twice a day. Best of luck in normalizing your blood pressure, so glad that you're on the road to recovery!

I hope you are doing well.

Inhale when the bar goes up and try to keep breathing in without stress until the bar starts dropping and do the same while breathing out

@@kelliesinclair5981 Thank you so much, Kellie! Found their instructional video (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mpx_gb15vd7Tl6s.html) as well. Be safe. Be well. :o)

A comfortable sitting position (sitting or lying down) is most important - so if you are more comfortable with cross-legged, that's great. The most important part is being consistent with your breathing pace and not interrupting your secession.

@@LowerMyPressure Thank you so much! I'm going to start today. My systolic is normal but my diastolic is stubborn

It doesn't matter. Try to time your breaths so that you are breathing in and out in one continuous motion. It may take a while to get the hang of it.

LowerMyPressure Thanks!

It was indeed out of whack yesterday, I have no idea why (maybe KZfaq was working on their system). The speed is back to the way it should be, I timed the breathing with a stopwatch and it was a perfect 6 breaths per minute. Thanks for letting me know!

Well then you did something wrong.

The lower the number the better - 6 BPM is perfect! Keep up the great work!

The short answer is no. If you mean doing the exercises for three weeks and then quitting the exercises once you have noticed a benefit, this will not work. You may maintain your gains by practicing the exercises 3-4 days a week but they must be done on a consistent basis if you want to keep your BP lower.

Unfortunately not and we have no plans to do so. Just do a search for "paced breathing app" and you should be able to find one.

Instructions for use: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mpx_gb15vd7Tl6s.html

Mark - the breathing exercises will help quite a bit, you should do them every day. I've found that sugar is worse than salt for high blood pressure. Please try to eliminate any added sugar and processed carbs from your diet like bread and junk food. The more sugar you take out of your diet, the more your BP will go down. Best of luck - be well!!!

@@LowerMyPressure Thank you so much, I wanted to start doing this but was not sure if doing it wrong would hurt me. ♥

It might take a while to get used to deep breathing exercises. You don't have to do the full 15 minutes when you first start. Many people start with the 8 breaths per minute to get used to the exercises. If you still have a hard time with the exercises after about a week, I would stop doing them if you are getting light headed.

Here's a link to the instruction video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mpx_gb15vd7Tl6s.html

Usually it's the lowest you feel comfortable doing. Unfortunately we do not make a lower paced breathing video.

Personally I prefer 6 BPM but some people find it too slow. Anything under 10 BPM has a therapeutic effect, so 10,8, or 6 BPM are just fine.

@@LowerMyPressure Thank you. That is helpful. I also find the 6 breaths per minute to be a good match. When you get a chance it would be great to at a bio and more detail to your "about" page, so we can learn more about your medical background (whether lay or professional), what inspired you to start this great website, and also to include some of the research that shows the evidence-based benefit of your program (for example JAMA just published an article affirming the positive effects of this type of breathing with respect to lowering blood pressure).This information would make doctors (including mine) more receptive to sharing this excellent program with their patients; and their is certainly an evidence basis to back up your work. Thanks for your consideration.

@@kcfield1 Thank you for the feedback. It might be a moot point as after all these years on KZfaq they have decided to stop allowing me to monetize my channel. I don't earn much and as you know, I give away "Pressure Perfect" for free on KZfaq. I created Pressure Perfect in 2011 and have never had any issues with my original content but now the KZfaq censors have decided they have no problem making money off of me but don't want to share because of completely false reasons. I'm not sure why I was picked by the algorithm. In any case I have filed a grievance but if they persist with their nonsense I will delete my channel and content. If it comes to that I will let you know and I'll be glad to direct you a free download of the Pressure Perfect program. Take care, Joel

Joel. Much appreciated. Would love to get a free download if that happens.I certainly hope you get to remain on KZfaq as Pressure Perfect is a great service to all those with high blood pressure.

@@LowerMyPressure have you explored rumble?

No. 6 breaths per minute is as low as this series goes.

Good girl

Inhale exhale with sound

It takes about 3-4 weeks for blood pressure to normalize with the breathing exercises. Spikes in pressure can come from so many factors but mostly diet and stress. I've found that sugar is even worse than salt when it comes to high BP. Low carb and low sugar is the way to go for lower BP. Keep up the great work on the breathing, hopefully this is just a temporary spike.

Thank you for the encouraging words! Yesterday 'twas better. Still wondering about adding the squeeze balls. Another benefit of this program I've noticed is that my singing voice is becoming stronger, more like it was 10 years ago. Yeah!

Dianne LaVerne Here's what we found out about the squeeze balls. They do help in the first couple of weeks to bring down your BP faster than just breathing alone - but after about two weeks we saw no benefit over just using the breathing exercises alone. They do add some variety to the routine but don't really serve any benefit in the long run. You really need a much more strong and sustained grip to have any effect on BP. The Zona Plus device will do this but it's very expensive and doesn't work for everyone.

Dianne LaVerne 152 82 isn't that bad ,for longt time maybe but easily curable

In through nose. Out through nose or mouth.

The blue line at the right corner of video which is going up indicating to breath in till the line reach to the top and the line coming down indicate breath out.

That can happen if you are not used to the breathing exercises and you strain a bit to keep up. This is temporary and will return to normal very quickly. You might want to start with 8bpm until you are used to the exercises. If this continues, I would stop the exercises. 123/77 is already a good BP reading, but you may also use the breathing exercises for relaxation if you wish.
