Q: I have been reading about this Resperate. I told my 2 doctors about it. In fact I have 4 doctors (1 cardiologist, 1 internist, 1 neurologist, 1 nephrologist) and they all said how will a machine lower my blood pressure? I am taking 7 medications per day (1 325mg aspirin,1 25mg HCTZ,2 50mg metoprolol1 50mg losartan, 1.5 10mg methimazole, 3 10MEQ SA K-Tabs, 1 40mg simvastatin). These alone costs too much for me, and I imagine this will not go lower than $50 a day, plus this is for life……please give me a very good reason to dispense of my medications or maybe lessen the cost. Thank you very much Dr. Rowena
A: The Resperate has been clinically proven in studies to lower blood pressure. It has received clearance by the FDA. Originally you needed a prescription from your doctor to use the Resperate. Simply put, the controlled breathing of the Resperate is like exercise for your blood vessels. It is very possible with regular use of the Resperate, you will be able to either decrease your dose or the number of medications you need to control your blood pressure. Send us the names and addresses of your physicians and we will send them detailed scientific information about the Resperate. This information convinced me the Resperate is a legitimate medical treatment for high blood pressure.

Of course everyone and their situation is different and never stop taking your meds without your doctors approval but this has worked for me. I can’t explain why but my BP was 200/110 (at the high end) and 156/90(sometimes even with meds) two months ago and this morning it was 98/59 (a little low for me) without meds. I would say try it in addition to your meds, if you can’t afford the initial expense you can get reconditioned units or do like I did and practice the breathing on your own but I think the machine does help you get started. Give it a honest committment, for me it worked immediately the first time but that could just be me. What I would like to know is why my doctors never told me about this? Good Luck, stay positive.

I also think it important for the writer to know that with Resperate you will lower your BP guaranteed (unless you are in a very small minority with other issues)if you take animal products out of your diet and eat a plant-based diet of vegetables (lots of greens)and fruits. Lower salt intake and use less processed foods. It works for me and 80-90% of people who try it. It also reverses coronary disease and diabetes.
What causes sudden swelling of ankles, caves, & thighs? It started when taking minoxidil. I stopped taking it, but legs are still swollen a little. What other causes are there for swollen legs?

@ Frank Maynard: The safest thing would be to ask the doctor who prescribed the medication.
The doctors had me on 6 medications for HBP . I discovered my blood pressure was highes when taken by a doctor or nurse in a unfamiliar surounding. I was able to get off three of the medication by taking my own readings first and second not taking them so often.I am writing a book titled “The Doctors are Killing Me”.I just purchased the Resperate and hope to get off all medication and take control of my life again?
My BP was not excessively high (145/90) but I decided that this was too high anyway. I too tried Resperate and agree that it helps. BUT: it is not a cure. You also will need it for the rest of your life, although you may be able to reduce the frequency of use. The new units are much smaller than the old ones, so are less cumbersome when travelling.
The one thing that helps more permanently is: Healthy, mainly vegetarian diet, losing weight, moderate exercise and relaxation if you are in a stressful lifesituation, with losing excessive weight a major contributor to lowering blood pressure.
I am not using Resperate anymore. Since I lost the 10 kg I piled on over 17 years and am back to my ‘young’ weigth of between 57 and 60 kg my BP has gone to more or less ‘normal’ range, fluctuating between 115/76 and 138/80, on the odd occasion a little over 140/85.
A good night’s sleep is most important too, especially as you get older.
If I may advertise something in this forum I would suggest to check out Dr McDougall’s Health and Medical Centre. No gimmicks. Sound advice. Good health.
If you have not done so, you should get your Simvastatin at Costco Rx. The full price (no insurance card required) for a 3-month supply of 40mg Simvastatin (90 tablets) is $9.99.
thank you.
You need new doctors. You are taking too much medicine. Try yoga breathing. My cardiologist helped me get started.
