Q: I hold a lot of tension in my diaphragm, especially at night when I am under stress. Would this muscle tension, as it is affected by breathing, be a factor in my blood pressure?
A: Stress has been associated with high blood pressure. Reducing stress is a lifestyle change recommended for blood pressure control. Since your stress levels affect your breathing, you might want to try the Resperate. This device uses sophisticated technology to guide your breathing into a therapeutic range. Perhaps regular use will break the cycle of storing stress in your diaphragm. Regular use will also help with your blood pressure control.
I find that general body tension (tight diaphragm, shoulders, legs, etc is a factor in my high blood pressure. Using Respirate device helps me reduce the muscle tension.
Stress is a killer! It can elevate your blood pressure through many mechanisms, including your breathing. Resperate can help, as can exercise, other relaxation techniques, magnesium supplements, restoring hormonal balance, among many other possibilities. Hopefully through some research, and identifying your specific problem, you can come up with ways to relax and improve your health in the process! All the best!!
Stress is a big problem for many people and it definitely raises your blood pressure (among other problems it can create and make worse). Some people are “wired” this way and it can be difficult to manage. Resperate does help, as does exercise and a few other things, but some people might suffer from an anxiety disorder. I am not a big fan of medications, but sometimes medication can really help when you suffer from anxiety. I am one of them! There are times you might need a multi level approach to lowering blood pressure, especially if generalized anxiety is included in the mix.
