6 Breaths Per Minute - Pressure Perfect - Lower Blood Pressure by breathing

[@kcfield1]

Last night, my BP was dangerously high again: 189/106. I did the Pressure Perfect breathing for 13 minutes, which lowered my pressure to 156/89. This morning when I woke up, my BP was 164/91. I did the Pressure Perfect breathing for 13 minutes, and it lowered my BP to 131/89. I just started yesterday on BP medication as the numbers are so high, but my primary care doctor and I are hopeful that at some time in the future, with stress reduction, exercise, and dietary changes that I will eventually be able to come off. The Pressure Perfect exercises (which I have foolishly neglected in recent months until yesterday) will be an important part of my holistic regimen.

"I did the Pressure Perfect breathing for 13 minutes" >> WARNING! __ why 13 minutes and not 15 minutes?! breath 15 minutes, take a rest 15 minutes and repeat 15 minutes breathing. UP TO 120/80 is a normal BP, don''t forget it.

[@markthorne6176]

I have been spiking at 188/98 for a few hours and tried to get it down by laying down in the dark, breathing, and listening to soft music that is suppose to help bp. Still was at 188/98 after 30 min. I just did this for the first time ever. I am now 136/75. OMG!!! I will do this every day, will try it at work at lunch time (I teach and I think it is very stressful even though I love it). THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

I've been using this program for 2 mornings and 1 night. yesterday I was 138/95. today I'm 119/83. that's a miracle for me. I was about to drop 300 dollars on a Resperate device. I can't thank you all enough.

[@LowerMyPressure]

Keep up the great work! It takes about a month before you'll get consistent lower BP all through the day. The RESPeRATE is an excellent device but just a bit pricey. They do have a newer model called 2breathe that works with iphones and it's about in the $200 range. Be well!

Glory to ALMIGHTY God! Thank you so very much for this breathing exercise! I happened upon this while looking for natural ways to lower my blood pressure and I decided to try it! I actually feel great right now... and I've subscribed and hit the notification bell, too! I will be doing this on a daily basis. It's just confirmation that when I was doing some inhaling and exhaling... it was the right thing to do! HALLELUJAH! My Heavenly Father doesn't make mistakes nor does he do anything randomly. I was supposed to find this. I've enjoyed reading some of the comments as well. I too have TWO USLESS (except for USEFUL in HARMING my health) medications that in time I WILL stop taking. Thank you so very much, again. God bless you for sharing this!

If the pace of the video is too fast or too slow for you initially, don't forget that you can adjust the playback speed of the KZbin video with the settings. For example setting the playback speed to .75% will result in fewer breaths per min - but may be too difficult for you to do initially.

That was amazing. My blood pressure has been a problem for many years and have just had covid which brought it up alarmingly . Had a few really bad nights with the thought of going to hospital but didn’t . I have in the last few days tried the beet juice .which is good too. Been doing different breathing exercises and they have helped too. I saw this on someone’s comment in another video and tried it . My reading was 127 over 58 ,, yesterday my reading was 170 over 65 . I am sometimes scared to do it . This the lowest it’s been in years . So I will definitely be doing this every day . Thank you so much

Thanks Joy. So glad to hear that Pressure Perfect was just the ticket for you. Since the exercises are just a sneaky way to meditate, you might benefit greatly by starting a daily meditation practice (if you don't already do so). Be well!

Im reluctantly impressed. My BP has gone lower than when I was on Olmesartan. Took reading half an hour ago and it was 142 over 69 after a fifteen minute period of deep breathing its down to 133 over 72. Stopped medication after severe hair loss, for a woman very distressing. Will keep up this exercise and see if I can maintain the lower BP. Will let you know.

[@hoptoit5910]

Thank you so much for this. Im excited to see how it goes doing this regularly. I’m new to this so stopped the video to do some research first. I was expecting a brief intro or something. From what I gather from my ‘googling’ is that the exhale is extremely important. I didn’t notice during this video (maybe that’s the point?) but with this type of breathing exercise the exhale should increase over the period of the exercise. The sound helps us to do the long exhale (whereas without a tone to guide apparently its quite difficult to exhale for the recommended length). I found it took me a while to get into it. The tone stops before the next starts. What do you there?? Keep on breathing? (If so, why does the tone not continue??) or hold your breath? (Not a good idea I guess? lol) Some brief notes in the video description would be extremely helpful for those who stumble onto this vid.

There is a link to our website for complete instructions but you make a very good point. I should also put the link to the instruction video directly in the video description. Thanks so much for you feedback!

I wish I knew about this before my doctor visit yesterday. She's giving me 3 months to see if I stabilize before bumping the meds. Does anyone know if daily practice keeps readings consistently low over time? It worked right away but skeptical about long term.

[@LowerMyPressure]

It takes about 3-4 weeks of daily use until your BP will normalize so that your readings are lower all day long. Even if they put you on low dose meds the exercises should help you to stay with the lowest dose. The lower the dose, the lower the side effects :-)

[@christophlieding734]

First i do want to thank the creator because I am pretty healthy and amazingly nothing wrong health-wise. Pretty sure this exercise will help me immensely. My biggest problem and where I kind of lose power is, i dont sleep that well. My mind racing all over and I do need to focus. I tried breathing and counting to 10, shit never made it to 5 before some thought came into my mind and got me distracted. Have to say, I was on pain-meds for some time and I think sleep apnea is my problem. Never had a easy time with sleeping and now when I wake up, sometimes I dont feel rested or powerful to take on the day. I do stretching and moving to rock'n roll but it takes a while to get going. Not like before when I woke up and started hitting the day running. It also might be that I get older but doubt it. Seems like I am my worse enemy sometimes. I do find some bliss in sex but think its kind of overrated. But if I could control my sexual movements and when I get an orgasm, I think sex might work too. But I will give this video a go and put it into my fav. Thanks for the upload and I'll be back practicing.

[@LowerMyPressure]

Hi Chris. Thanks for the nice comments. We do have an app for android now if you have an android device. Just search for Lowermypressure in the Google play store. We are working on an app for iOS but apple is more difficult to deal with. If you have insurance you may want to do a sleep study, especially if you wake up exhausted in the morning. Good restorative sleep is one of the most important essentials to keep healthy. The breathing exercises will put you into the Alpha state and help with falling asleep but if you have sleep apnea you'll wake up all the time. Keep up the good work - be well! Joel

[@christophlieding734]

Thanks Joe/ didn't think somebody would respond/ would have left the sex thing out. Dont have insurance jet and think my problem is in my head mostly. I will never give up Aloha (love) or hope that i will overcome most of my obstacles and come out good. I think somehow I do keep myself up at night with my mind going around and around. Got some problems on the "outer" world and always tried to go extreme/ all the way. To control what I cant, like leaving east Maui paradise and to go back to Germany and you know what they say about change. I am open to that what ever comes. I have also the tendency to go of track and even control when I speak and what to say. Trying a little bit praying and some exercise like keep my body in shape and to focus. My friend said if I would talk to a psychiatrist, he would pay me to shut up. But thanks for the upload of the 15 minutes breathing exercise it will do me good. That's why I put it into my fav. and I will do it. Ps. My girlfriend is coming in from the other side of the island and for a time being with her will help. I try to be happy every second and it worked for some time. Again big Aloha to you and the once you love.

Thanks, Lee. I've recently found out that sugar is even worse than salt when it comes to high blood pressure.

Which Pressure Perfect is the ultimate goal? 6 or 12? Less breaths per minute or more? I've been doing Pressure Perfect 6.

[@LowerMyPressure]

The lower the number the better - 6 BPM is perfect! Keep up the great work!

[@dennismalkowski4132]

Should you keep inhaling/exhaling until the line stops rising/falling or until the tone stops. I just started a couple of days ago but it seems like my heart rate increases and I can feel a stronger "thump" in the chest after I start this breathing exercise. Am I inhaling too deeply, or is that just a normal reaction to the exercise when first starting out?

[@LowerMyPressure]

Hi Dennis: Follow the line and try to time the inhale/exhale so that you are breathing in one continuous motion and not holding your breath. The 6 BPM might be a bit too hard for you when first starting, it shouldn't be a chore to keep up. I would start with our 8 BPM or 10 BPM videos and see how you feel. You don't have to do the complete 15 minutes when starting, 10 minutes will provide you with the desired effect.

[@dennismalkowski4132]

So why do you advocate using continuous motion breathing as opposed to the triangular method where you breathe in, hold, and then breathe out?

[@LowerMyPressure]

Slow and continuous emulates a relaxed breathing pattern, so it doesn't trigger the "fight or flight" response. Holding the breath (in some people) signals the brain that you might be under stress. Again it depends on the individual, but personally I don't have the same relaxation results with the triangular method.

[@RobLents]

I dont watch the bar, I close my eyes and just listen. The VA had me on 3 BP meds and I do not want that. This has brought my BP down and my anxiety

Dennis have you ever looked into the "Wimhoff method"?

[@lrainew]

I did the breathing exercise for the entire 15 min. At times, I felt like I was not doing it correctly. Do you do diaphragmatic belly breathing? I was inhaling and exhaling through my nose. I was trying to belly breathe. Does it matter where you sit while doing the exercises? I was at the kitchen table with my bop cuff on. I was wondering if I could sit in a comfortable chair and do it; then go to the kitchen table and take my pressure. The last question is how soon do you take your blood pressure after you do the exercise? I did it immediately. I must say that the exercise kept my pressure consist to my other readings from previous days. It’s still high but I know with practice, I can really lower it and get my medication reduced and ultimately eliminated. Thank you for all your help!

[@LowerMyPressure]

Hi Lorraine. It really doesn't matter if you belly breath or not, it's the consistency of the breathing that matters the most. When you breathe slow and steady for at least 10 minutes (uninterrupted) your brain signals your body that it's not in "fight or flight." Your muscles will relax (especially the muscles around your blood vessels) and your blood will flow better and your blood pressure will reduce. It takes about three weeks or so of doing the exercises for your body to adapt to this lower stress level and to get a consistent lowering of your blood pressure. The exercises will also put your in the relaxed Alpha state and they are great to do when you are feeling stressed or anxious. I would wait about ten minutes or so for your BP to normalize before you take a BP reading after doing the exercises. We also have a free app for android devices if you prefer to do the exercise on a phone or tablet. The app also has an "audio only" version of the breathing program.

[@mirandaweaver2898]

How long will the lowered hold. Will it rise again after one stops the exercise?

[@Fidelis117]

In my experience (so please do your own investigation with this before just taking my word for it), this depends on how long you maintain this practice. I found this program after my doctor noted that my BP was 153/103. I'm overweight and don't eat right, so she gave me the option of making lifestyle changes to lower it before being diagnosed with high BP and starting medication. I bought a home BP monitor and began seeing what worked to lower it. When I used this program at first, my BP would drop from the 150s/90s to 130s/80s. After 10 minutes or so, it would return to the higher numbers. However, after doing this for a month, I noticed that my BP was starting lower (I record my BP twice a day using an app called "BP Journal: Blood Pressure Log"). It was starting in the 140s/80s and would lower to high 120s/low 80s. Still, after 10 minutes or so, it would return to the 140s/80s. I did this program every day, twice a day, for 3 months and eventually, my BP was in the low 120s/high 70s consistently. After the breathing, it would lower to 110 - 116/70s. Again, after 10 minutes or so it would return to the 120s/70s. Still, this was much better than where I was when I started so I was happy. I am now restarting the twice a day regimen after 4 months of not monitoring my BP or doing these breathing exercises as my BP is once again in the high 140s/90s. So, yes, it works if done consistently but (from my anecdotal experience) if you stop for a long period of time, it will return to the pressures you started with unless there is some other significant change. Again, this was just my experience. Your mileage may vary.

[@mokuho]

How many time in a Day reccomend do this exercise?

[@LowerMyPressure]

You may do the breathing exercises any time you feel the need to relax but there is no benefit to your blood pressure more than twice a day.

[@kcfield1]

Have you determined which breath per minute option lowers BP most effectively? Specifically, I am comfortable both with the 8 BPM and 6 BPM videos, but wondered which is most effective long term (especially as the 6 BPM results in longer, deeper breaths--but less breaths overall during the program).

[@LowerMyPressure]

Personally I prefer 6 BPM but some people find it too slow. Anything under 10 BPM has a therapeutic effect, so 10,8, or 6 BPM are just fine.

[@kcfield1]

@@LowerMyPressure Thank you. That is helpful. I also find the 6 breaths per minute to be a good match. When you get a chance it would be great to at a bio and more detail to your "about" page, so we can learn more about your medical background (whether lay or professional), what inspired you to start this great website, and also to include some of the research that shows the evidence-based benefit of your program (for example JAMA just published an article affirming the positive effects of this type of breathing with respect to lowering blood pressure).This information would make doctors (including mine) more receptive to sharing this excellent program with their patients; and their is certainly an evidence basis to back up your work. Thanks for your consideration.

@@kcfield1 Thank you for the feedback. It might be a moot point as after all these years on KZbin they have decided to stop allowing me to monetize my channel. I don't earn much and as you know, I give away "Pressure Perfect" for free on KZbin. I created Pressure Perfect in 2011 and have never had any issues with my original content but now the KZbin censors have decided they have no problem making money off of me but don't want to share because of completely false reasons. I'm not sure why I was picked by the algorithm. In any case I have filed a grievance but if they persist with their nonsense I will delete my channel and content. If it comes to that I will let you know and I'll be glad to direct you a free download of the Pressure Perfect program. Take care, Joel

[@starrsteadgroomcreekarizon3602]

I breathe through my nose only, both inhaling and exhaling. What made this work for me is to breathe in at a very slow pace, and then MATCH that pace for the exhale. You are still following the tones for the timing, but you control the speed of your breathe. As you practice this more it becomes easier to slow down your pace. I have been doing this for almost two years, and I slow the playback speed to 75 percent, and I put the volume down, because I find that it is easier for me to relax. I feel that matching the pace of the inhale and exhale has had the biggest impact for me, and of coarse you need to be consistent and do it everyday.

To all gentlemen commenting here - how many times per day and how many minutes per session should one be doing this?

[@LowerMyPressure]

Once per day is just fine but you may do the exercises whenever you feel the need to relax a bit. Our users have found that once or twice per day worked well for them. Doing the exercises more than twice per day did not lower the blood pressure any faster, but it did lead to better relaxation. Try to work up to at least 10 minutes of the breathing exercises for best results.

[@LowerMyPressure]

It does lower heart rate by relaxation but if you have a medical condition that causes a higher than normal heart rate you should be monitored by your doctor to make sure everything is okay. The breathing exercises should be done on a daily basis for about the first month and then as needed to maintain your desired results.

How many times per day to keep blood pressure stwady

[@LowerMyPressure]

Hi Kim: Once per day is all that's necessary to keep you blood pressure steady. It will take about three to four weeks of use to reach this level and then about 4-5 days a week to maintain your BP. Be well!

[@wenenda32]

Can this Permanently bring your blood pressure back to normal if you’re using it up to three weeks

[@LowerMyPressure]

The short answer is no. If you mean doing the exercises for three weeks and then quitting the exercises once you have noticed a benefit, this will not work. You may maintain your gains by practicing the exercises 3-4 days a week but they must be done on a consistent basis if you want to keep your BP lower.

Mark - the breathing exercises will help quite a bit, you should do them every day. I've found that sugar is worse than salt for high blood pressure. Please try to eliminate any added sugar and processed carbs from your diet like bread and junk food. The more sugar you take out of your diet, the more your BP will go down. Best of luck - be well!!!

[@Tigerwolf291]

Thank you for this. Should we be breathing in through our nose and out through our mouth or through the nose on both inhale and exhale?

[@LowerMyPressure]

It's best to breathe through your nose if possible but breathing through your mouth is just fine too. I found that my mouth got too dry if I did the breathing exercises through my mouth only. For some people it's not possible to breathe through their nose because of allergies, deviated septum, etc. The most important part is trying to get at least ten minutes of uninterrupted time doing the breathing exercises. Consistency is the key and if you do the exercises every day you should do really well.

[@Tigerwolf291]

LowerMyPressure Thanks. I’m finding a rhythm inhaling through my nose and exhaling through my mouth but I see what you’re saying about mouth getting dry. I’ll play around with it and see what comes most natural to me. Thanks again. This will be a life saver.

Started this breathing a couple of weeks ago. Worked well, after a few days, my BP dropped and then continued to drop to a really healthy level. Then started back up, today really bad(152/82)! I am tempted to persevere and just keep going; as it was working. Could I add the squeeze balls? Rrrrr!

[@LowerMyPressure]

It takes about 3-4 weeks for blood pressure to normalize with the breathing exercises. Spikes in pressure can come from so many factors but mostly diet and stress. I've found that sugar is even worse than salt when it comes to high BP. Low carb and low sugar is the way to go for lower BP. Keep up the great work on the breathing, hopefully this is just a temporary spike.

[@diannelaverne8818]

Thank you for the encouraging words! Yesterday 'twas better. Still wondering about adding the squeeze balls. Another benefit of this program I've noticed is that my singing voice is becoming stronger, more like it was 10 years ago. Yeah!

[@LowerMyPressure]

Dianne LaVerne Here's what we found out about the squeeze balls. They do help in the first couple of weeks to bring down your BP faster than just breathing alone - but after about two weeks we saw no benefit over just using the breathing exercises alone. They do add some variety to the routine but don't really serve any benefit in the long run. You really need a much more strong and sustained grip to have any effect on BP. The Zona Plus device will do this but it's very expensive and doesn't work for everyone.
