Yes...I did it and it worked. My BP was 151/83 and after trying the first exercise my BP came down to 125/76...praise God

👌👏Adam, I am the author of the book, "Blood Under False Pressure, the Truth About High Blood Pressure" and you are one of the few who have given a common sense approach to the Blood Pressure misconception. Blood Pressure itself is not the problem But a symptomatic issue, The real problem is america's health issues in our body is causing a Blood Pressure rereaction. Change our diet and change your life. Fix our diet, stress n anxiety, health problems, hydration, infections, inflammation, and vitamins Deficiency than your blood pressure will fix itself. Thank you

If you wanna permanently lower your BP, quit stressful relationship(s), job, demanding situations, preferably all of them. Works wonders.

Whenever my blood pressure is going to be measured I do deep breathing up to 15 minutes before: breath in slowly, hold for 10 to 30 seconds, exhale slowly through the nose, repeat two to four times. Done! Result will be that the person taking the pressure will praise you for your perfect blood pressure - every time.

Doctors say I have the highest sustained blood pressure ever recorded. My normal blood pressure has been around 260/140 for 16 years and once the emergency room couldn't even measure it, they just charted it at 320+/240 and my nose and ears were bleeding. Last year I was taking as many as 16 medications per day but had no change in my blood pressure so I stopped all the meds after 6 months with no change in my B/P. I've tried every type of medication known with no change. My renal arteries have been checked 6 times and are perfect, also my kidney function is perfect. A few years ago I had surgery and was given dilaudid for four day and this is the only time in 16 years that my blood pressure has been normal (120/80). I went to the doctor this week for a checkup and my B/P was so high that they made me sign a release to even leave. I'm 62 years old and I've lost over 50lbs going from 240lbs down to 188lbs this year but it didn't help at all. I also walk 2 miles per day and eat a very healthy low carb diet. My blood pressure was 120/80 my entire life then just went off the chart in less than one week in my 40s. If anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated.

I have been very angry at times with very stressful situations and this situation will raise your blood pressure to very high levels

I started doing the breathing exercises when I first found you on utube(not box ,but naturally).I have familial and severe white coat syndrome BP-not a great combination!! I am 78, have a very healthy diet and exercise and I am thin!.At first I had to think about the breathing exercise before doing it or remind myself to do it. now, about 8 months later, I do it without thinking about it throughout the day wherever I am,in the car or whenever I am alone. It is just natural now rather then an 'exercise'.Not only does it help BP but it is also very relaxing. Thank you so much.

I had the same exact issue and reading, I took beetroot chews and potassium. Within a week my blood pressure was back at 120/80

I have been eating oatmeal every morning for 10 yrs and my blood pressure has gone from 140/90 to 116/70 the last 10 yrs.

Great video. Thanks. I permanently lowered my high blood pressure down to normal values by simply reducing my coffee intake from 5 cups to 1 cup a day. Breathing in deeply and exhaling slowly (about 10 seconds long) 2 or 3 times works for me as well.

I never had any BP issues until i met my husband. I swear i thought i was going to blow a gasket around that man!!

Wow! I am so grateful to have come across this video on breathing techniques to lower blood pressure. I did the Val Salva maneuver twice and immediately noticed my tinnitus was GONE! I am still in amazement (shock)! I have saved this video and will continue to do these different techniques! Thank you so much for doing this video and I have subscribed and hit the "like" button!

WOW, that REALLY works like a charm! I was so sceptical and now that I've checked I'm just stunned! (However it really works for a very short time, literally just minutes).

Hi Dr. Story, I tried for couple days, it works. I want to Thank you very much!!

Cored massage turns out to be very effective for me. In just a minute it can drop BP from 135 systolic to 115. Much faster than just sitting down and relaxing (which often only drops the already quite low pulse). Box breathing usually calms the pulse down for me and serves as a mental focus aid. But that massage is top notch!

Hot baths brings blood pressure down too. Just sit in a hot bath for 20 - 30 minutes, just be sure you don't doze off while relaxing in the hot bath.

I love your methods 🙌🏿 I indeed try the breathing exercises before taking me pressure and it did bring my pressure down from 160/87 to 145/87

Breathe through your left nostril and exhale through your right nostril for 5 to 10 minutes.Close your right nostril with your finger while breathing in. That is yoga!

Adam- Thank you! One comment you made but didn't elaborate on may just change my life. You said "breath in through the nose, it stimulates nitric oxide production which helps dilate the blood vessels which thus lowers blood pressure". I've got BP issues I can't figure out. After using ChatGPT to ask if stimulating nitric oxide production is different for mouth breathers, I realize I've got to retrain my breathing habits right away. I've been a mouth breather for decades. Might be a good video for you to do, if you haven't already.

I like the valsalva maneuver. It works so quickly!

He's not kidding about the carotid massage; I inadvertently had one, during a ultrasound which took too long. It gave me a seizure..

Simplicity is the best solution to all the issues.Change your life style.Enjoy/spent most of your time with your best friends, laughter is the best medicine.Forcibly adopt hunting which gives you nice walk, nice food, nice pleasure, nice gossip. When you do this, get rid of all the diseases.

Awesome the box exercise helped me pick up my oxygen levels when I had COVID 2 years ago 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Wonderful info - so encouraging. Thank you, Adam

Your blood pressure is exactly where it needs to be whether it is high or low. Your body is attempting to perfuse all areas of the body and sometimes increasing the pressure is necessary to make that happen. As long as you are stuck on artificially defined number ranges to indicate “health”, you are not a true healer, and don’t have an understanding of how the body works or what it is doing.

1 hr of walking every day ..yoga deep breathing holding exercise..1 garlic in morning before eating kept pealed out for 15 mins ..ull be soo good

Hi Adam, my blood pressure is always high, but I don’t have diabetes, don’t smoke and eat fruit and vegetables. I don’t exercise at all because I’m in a wheelchair and I can’t walk. Can you recommend me exercises that I can do in my chair to lower my blood pressure. Just to add, I breathe in and out before I have my blood pressure checked as well. But, it doesn’t make a difference to my blood pressure readings. My Urine Test is clear too, so there is nothing wrong there Thank you very much for all of the content. I really appreciate it. Loving the videos. 👍

Great stuff. I like the carotid massage.

Absolute love this. I am a 100% on your wave length. At 60 I’ve been pro science and pro alternative in my career. Truth is it’s a balance and this gentleman gets it. Awesome

116/69 @ 57 yrs old Eat fresh whole veggies/fruit as part of every meal. Also drink over a gallon of water every day. My Negatives are I do eat fast food from time to time and drink that dier mountain dew every day!!! 😮

Dr. Adam, you are awesome!

Wow thank you so much for the wonderful information to lower my BP..May God keep you for a long long years😅

Thanks! Most in my family have strokes and heart attacks, so I’m going to be the outside the box person.

I served in the Special Forces (not the SEALS) we were taught the 4 7 8 for relaxation and sleep.

I just tried the neck massage: Before 154/87, after 120/82! Wow! To say the least! Thank you!

Box breathing was a revelation for me. I don't have anything to read my blood pressure but my pulse dropped by 8 doing box breathing for a few minutes. It also seemed to sharpen my focus. Possibly, I am just looking for more benefits. Thanks for the video.

Every single person i know that had high blood pressure and then dieted to get their bmi into the normal range also brought their blood pressure into the normal range. Myself included. Most dont want to do the hard yards and end up on pills instead. If you are not overweight and have high blood pressure you need to see a doctor, if not try weight loss before taking meds.

What I find that also works in lemon water. Juice of half a lemon in a glass of warm water. Takes about 30 min to see results.

I am surprised to say that this worked. My whole family has BP issues and it is believed fhat it may be a false signal of low BP and our bodies are compensating by jacking it up. Im under a med review right now and even though medicated my BP was 170/100 this morning. One cycle of neck massage and box breathing brought it down to 154/100 and a second cycle… 134/100. Is it possible that the false signal is somehow related to the carotid nerve?

Great vid! Thanks for sharing. It worked for me!

yes is true doc, may bp is elevated now and i apply your method now and its effective thank you doc🙏

Good video put they so many videos about how to low your blood pressure down ,and you don’t know Which one is good . So for me I just do my regular exercises and eat well . Or depends your body And your age for your blood pressure , so do what is best for you .

Thanks doc very helpful information

I’ve never done something similar anytime my blood pressure is high, especially in another country due to heat exhaustion. My blood pressure is usually 122/78. I feel like yoga always brought me calmness. So it was always something I did over time. Something I learned when I had to do blood tests. At some point I just noticed so if I’m anxious or super hot and someone needs to check it twice. That’s what I do

I did the box breathing while waiting in the Dr's office before getting my BP checked. It was fine when usually was high.

Thank you. I am enlightened

Excellent video, thank you.

Thankyou for your advice! I don’t want to go on BP medication so will use this for next 12 weeks before I go back to Dr. (and lower salt, sugar and bad food choices!)

This is a magnificent video! Very clear and concise! Helpful!

Very nice and informative video. Thank you Doctor.

Dr you are great i find your videos so helpful after having a stroke at age 36. I jut love your videos Thank you so much ❤

Thanks so much for sharing this vital information Doc .God bless you immensely.

Thank you for this teachings.

Thank you, Doctor, for these tips. I have a question: What do you advise me to use blood pressure digital monitor at home?

Another good breathing one is up the hill down the 4 up the slope gentle in belly breath…6 down the slope on gentle out breath through the nose. I have been doing this for 5 minutes twice a day and it is very helpful for anxiety or worry. I had to draw a little ski slope with the 4 on the way up and the 6 on the way down…bc it wasn’t my normal staccato crazy half held breaths….bp came down from 140/ 80 to 115/ 70….i can now tell when I need to do a few reps …its great up the slope…

Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Sir for another episode.

Fantastic video! Thank you!

Nice info, thanks doc🙏

Great information

I appreciate you! keep on doing what you do!

Oh thanks! I did the second one, the wind changed and now I’m stuck like this…. 1:50

Love your information!

thank you doctor, from Buenos Aires

Thanks Doc! 😊

I saw a yoga breathing exercise similar to this an it relaxes my heart rate very easily

Thank you Doctor. That is helpful!

I lowered my blood pressure from an average of 148/88 to 122/78 all by switching to an all meat diet. And, contrary to what my doctor assumed would happen, my total cholesterol went down. My LDL went from 239 to 200, my triglycerides went from 98 to 81 and my HDL went from 40 to 47. Also, my GERD disappeared, my acid reflux was gone, my blood sugars are now between 70 and 100 instead of 155 to 200 which is what they were before and I lost 47lbs... so far. All meat, no plants, no grains, no sugars... just meat, eggs, heavy cream and fat heavy cheeses.

Thank you very effective Just tested my bp 131/78 Did the massage and breathing 125 after

لدي سؤال : زوجي حصل معه في ١٣ ابريل ٢٠٢٣ . جلطة I T A . و بعدها حصل له بعد ٨ شهور ٢٣ ديسمبر ٢٠٢٣ Stroke ,. ,و اقرا على حركة جانبه الايمن مدة قصيرة . تقريبا ساعة و اعوجاج في الخد الايسر . و بعدها فقد جزئي للذاكرة. نسي اسمي و نسي اسم الاولاد و لم يعرف كيف يستعمل جهازه . و نسي التاريخ و اليوم . واخذته للطوارئ . حاليا تعافي الحمد لله بعد اسبوع في المستشفى و صار احسن بكثير و شبه طبيعي . اريد ان تحافظ على ضغطه الدموي و ان يحافظ على ذاكرته وان لا تعود نفس السكتة و يتجنب حصولها من جديد . شكرا لك 😊😊❤❤❤

Many thanks for the techniques.

Thank you! I'm going to try this. On another note, your funny.

Carotiid massage, Val Salva and Box breathing.

Thank you so much for this. ❤

I’ve done everything suggested to lower BP. Reduced sugar, salt, carbs, taking flaxseed, beetroot, magnesium, D3 with K2, eat lots of green, leafy vegetables, practice breathing as instructed, exercise two hours per day (which includes walking at least 3 miles), and more! My BP stays @ an average 135/80. My BMI is 19 and I have no day-to-day health issues other than tinnitus, which affects my sleep. I do not want to take any meds. What else can I do?

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your video! New Sub! Keep helping I’m sure everyone is benefiting from you! 👏👏👏

Mine was 161 this weekend

I do the same breathing for anxiety

I may be the only person who became confused when you referred to "the" carotid artery, singular, then demonstrated the massage in black and white on the left side, opposite to the right side you began with. The diagram didn't make it clear (to me) either, that we have carotid arteries on both sides of the neck. Anyway, just a point of clarity. I'm hoping these work for me, and thank you.

So that gentle massage is stimulating the vagus nerve which is often compressed around C1 to C3, this is usually ignored in most MRI reviews in my experience, and especially important after a trauma to head/neck area, that’s an excellent point, it can restore the regulation of the parasympathetic nervous system, excellent video.

Hi, will try the carotid method. Thanks

My blood pressure last time it was checked was 160 over 90. I've had a stroke and have a completely blocked left coradid artery. So I assume my blood pressure will always be high. What say you? NM

Thank you for this

Just tried it it worked thanks

If you choose a method, how often and for how long should it be used?

How long does the blood pressure stay lower?

Dehydration is one of the causes of high BP. Try upping your water intake to two litres a day.

Nice video, very helpful

Did first and third together, it worked just in 2 minutes down from 140 to 125

I have high BP when measured. One of the issues I have is that I find the device on the arm to be very painful and about 1 in 5 times I have to stop mid-test.

Thank you, Doc!

Sir, I am from India and subscribed to your channel after watching this video. I have an elevated blood pressure of 170/90 despite taking beta blockers and ACE inhibitors. The beta blocker slows my heart down to below 60 bpm most of the time. I need to lower my blood pressure naturally.

Praise science

Thank you Dr Hbp 150/90 for 24 hs did what you said 121/93 now

So I tried the Carotid sinus and it did lower my systolic about 10 points to 133. Ok, but not great. Next, I tried the breath-holding technique. This lowered my BP further. But the best is when I drew in deep breaths through my nose and slowly exhaled through my mouth. Dropped it to 114, which I have done in the past. However, this drop is only temporary. Why does a deep breath through the nose and slow exhale through the mouth lower my BP? Is it because I am inhaling more air that produces nitric oxide? if so, is my physiology somehow inhibiting NO when breathing normally?

Useful video.

Box breathing works for me. 🎉 and for long term, Keto is AMAZING!! ❤❤❤

I'm curious on the first method is it for both sides or just the one ?
