Slow breathing works … combined with yoga and other relaxation techniques it even better. Don’t underestimate the power of Yoga for improving health. If slow breathing works, then why bother with high priced units like Resperate? (Actually compared to the cost of drugs, Resperate is a bargain, for most folks one can easily pay off the unit in less than year with saving in drugs.) My experience is that I tried slow breathing before I bought Resperate and it failed for me. My slow breathing attempts had no effect on my blood pressure, but after I bought Resperate and I learned how to do slow breathing, it now it also works. I slow breath at work during coffee breaks, at noon hour, even when traveling on the bus. Now, although I can slow breath without the device, I still use Resperate almost every day, it just easier, and more relaxing. In my case, I was on various high blood pressure medication, and drugs were causing me trouble, I was desperate for some solution. Resperate helped me reduce by half my drug usage, I have recovered my investment many times over. It certainly a better investment that most stocks, or bonds. What price can one put on health?
I was desperate
That is when I found Resperate.
My blood pressure was too high.
But now I don’t need to sigh.

Yes it does work. My BP was 180/98. My doctors changed my medication every other visit. I seems to have uncomfortable side effects (i.e. coughing etc) I finally tried a med called Bystalic it worked for me & brought my BP to 110/68 almost immediately. But I felt so tired & dizzy so I researched & decided to try lowering my meds in half(I DON’T advise anyone to lower or stop their meds) my BP was 145/83, I sat back breathing in through my nose & imagine I’m a balloon filling with air & also raise my head & I hold the air for a few seconds (2-3)& slowly release the air through mouth lowering my head again imagining the balloon deflating & hold my breath again for a few seconds & repeat. After trying this maybe 8 to 10 times to my total suprise it worked immediately my BP was 106/68. I do this throughout & day and I would suggest people to try it BUT “stay on your meds” & see how it works for you then talk to your Dr. I have told everyone I know & the ones who try it are amazed.
this technique works well for anxiety too. It is a form of diversion. Diversion -getting one’s attention off the immediate problem (anxiety in my case) works extremely well–especially if the diversion is humor. Anxiety causes the blood pressure to sky rocket, so learning to control the anxiety will help with high blood pressure too.
I really believe exercise is the true key to lowering blood pressure naturally. Besides increasing your heart rate temporarily which lowers blood pressure it reduces anxiety which also helps in lowering blood pressure. Therefore a two-fold advantage.
I also have found that following the Resperate pattern of slow breathing (I usually begin at 3.9 breaths per minute before following the tones and end at about 3.0) lowers my bp to about 115/68. I do this for 15 minutes every morning and then find other times to replicaate the pattern during the work day–calming and relaxing. I wish it would lower my calf readings which are about 200/122. Anybody with advice there?
