I admit I’m a bit of a skeptic when it comes to natural ways such as breathing to lower BP. However, here lately BP has been unstable even with medication and I’m running out of options to help control sudden spikes. I have been applying your breathing techniques in hopes it will help. I have anxiety attacks which raises BP even more and it’s hard to focus when I’m in panic mode. I certainly hope it works for me. I see many positive comments! Wish you all good health in the upcoming year! Thank you for sharing something helpful!

This didn't help me, but I'm glad for those it does. As a society, any decent person without hypertension or hypotension, is a good thing. Im open to other ideas to lower BP from any commenters. I've tried ashwagandha, coq10, red yeast rice, none of those help. Garlic, fish oil are 2 I may try. Niacin improved my cholesterol levels, but hasn't stabilized my BP. I take it daily. Medication that failed are clonidine, spironolactone. I've had mixed results with Lisinopril.

[@circa1890]

I've had good results with exercise (1 hour daily, hr 130bpm), beetroot juice (just 1 medium beet with water in nutrabullet) and of course breathing daily (10min morning and evening). Have you now found something that has worked for you? Anxiety brought my bp up about a year ago (pandemic) .. used to be 100/70 but that went up to 140s/70s during anxious times. 😞

Surfing the internet about breathwork I've noticed a few people commenting that it didn't have a lasting effect in helping them decrease their anxiety, but I think some people don't stick with it long enough, and just gave up.

[@BreathGuidance]

Richard awesome observation. There's a lot of variables that goes into the breathing techniques and the person using them for particular affects. One type of breathing technique will help reduce one person's anxiety while that same breathing techniques may exaggerate someone else's anxiety. The technique itself plus the duration, pressure, volume and speed along with the practitioner's conditions all go into account. Just like prescriptions may need a higher dose or more often to take, the breathing techniques can be customized to the practitioner, and sometimes it totally is just that they may need to increase the duration.

Hi. Thanks for sharing What can be done if in breaths are short.? Will they get longer with practice? Thank you.

[@BreathGuidance]

Thanks for breathing along! No worries if you're finding short duration, keep practicing, as a lot of extending your respiratory rate has to do with your breathing muscles and neurological control, which can take time to train and improve. Try to practice just lengthening your inhale in a devoted practice for a while.

[@scarlet132011]

Thank you for a helpful video, a quick question, so the inhale has to be Ujjayi however the exhale is normal through the nose or pursed lips? If so, can i ask howcome? Just wondering why the inhale and exhale is not ujjayi. Thank you.

[@BreathGuidance]

Hi Scarlet, you can definitely use ujjayi on the nasal inhale, and on the nasal exhale, as it will help control the flow of air in better than without it. The exhale is done through the lips so you can use the benefit of the mouth and tongue muscles to further extend the length of the exhale (you can do this with your nose and ujjayi as well, but most people will be able to exhale for longer using the pursed lips as they may not have strong vocal chord/vocal diaphragm control.) Try to time it, see how long you can stretch your ujjayi exhale and how long you can stretch your pursed lips exhale. Do whichever is longer. Thanks for breathing along!

I used a stopwatch to time the out breaths and the 5 minutes. I was breathing out for 20 seconds. Is that too slow? It felt comfortable. I noticed my body became warm all through as I came to the end of the 5 minutes. Is that an expected outcome please?

[@BreathGuidance]

Rachael this is so great! The longer the exhalation - the better, so 20 seconds is really good! Everyone feels a bit different from the techniques and generally many people will feel more of a "cooling" sensation but the warming is a natural feeling too.

​@@Muck-qy2oo Yes, when the diastolic goes up you don't have the breath out right when you are relaxed sitting, your breath out should happen with your belly. Just very slowly contract your belly you can put a finger under your nose you will feel the warm air escaping. You learn that in yoga. Breath out though the nose but NOT with the nose. If you do it right you will have a big effect. I get from 120/70 down to 85/40 mediating for a couple of minutes. If you hear anything like in this video you are breathing too fast.

I love .really lowered my pressure. So many of the other videso say letting the breath out of your mouth. Does it make a difference?.

[@BreathGuidance]

Thanks so much for breathing along! The nose and mouth offer different benefits for different applications. For instance, you’ll use the nose when you want to better filter the air and is used for more training and calming techniques but the mouth is used when you need more volume at a quicker pace (like while sprinting) or getting a bigger amount of air out like when cleansing or reducing temperature. That’s just a few differences but there are many reasons and ways you’ll use one or the other for an in/out breath.

[@derwinjohnson8174]

Are there any advantages in exhaling from the nose versus the mouth?

[@BreathGuidance]

Hi Derwin! Yep! Your nose humidifies and warms the air as it enters and the exhaled air is extra warm so it prepares the nose more for the next inhale. Notice how the nasal inhale feels when you have exhaled from your nose right before it and then notice the difference when you inhale from your nose right after you have exhaled from your mouth. The nose is typically always the way to go, though there are some techniques where mouth exhale are beneficial. For this technique, try to stick with the nasal exhale if you can elongate it.

Hi Dani, What do you think could be the reason that systolic pressure drops down but systolic pressure does not with this exercise ?

[@BreathGuidance]

Hi Miguel, looks like you said systolic twice so I'm not sure which you mean but systole is when the heart contracts to pump blood out while diastole is when the heart relaxes after contraction.
