Q: Will RESPeRATE help control anxiety associated with having your blood pressure taken?
A: Many people suffer from “white coat hypertension”. With this condition, blood pressure readings are higher than normal when measured in a doctor’s office as compared to those taken at home. Use of the RESPeRATE has been shown to lower blood pressure readings taken in both the home and the office setting. The RESPeRATE uses calming music to guide you through the breathing exercises that lower your blood pressure. For individuals who fear blood pressure measurement, even when taken at home, remembering the RESPeRATE melody during readings may help you overcome your fear and get a more accurate measurement.

I was one of those people and have suffered for it,however with a good doctors help i was able to come off a lot of medicines and hope to get a resperate to get off the rest if the doctors don’t kill me first.
YEs, Doctors seem to want to medicate !!!! It is the western traditional way of addressing health concerns. Good you found a good Doctor who understands this problem, they are rare.
