Resperate: Can it help lower my blood pressure?
Question:
Answers:
Here's how it works. Resperate analyzes your breathing pattern, creates a personalized melody and transmits it to earphones. You synchronize your breathing to the melody that you hear through the earphones. The goal is slow, deep breathing — 10 breaths a minute — with particularly long exhalation.
The theory behind Resperate is that many people with high blood pressure have increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system — the part of your nervous system that controls blood flow. Slow, deep breathing reduces this activity, allowing blood pressure to return to normal.
To produce a persistent reduction in systolic pressure (the top number in your blood pressure reading), perform these breathing exercises for 15 minutes several days a week. Studies of people with high blood pressure who use Resperate as directed report an average decrease in systolic pressure of 14 mm Hg. However, it may take a few weeks to see a benefit.
In addition, the reduction in blood pressure isn't permanent. If you stop doing the breathing exercises, your systolic pressure will rise again.
