Breathe slowly to cut your blood pressure

What happened to taking 10 deep breaths, it appears there's a better solution...the Resperate Machine....there's even clinical trials on this one from the Mayo Clinic and it has FDA approval... guess it is worth a try if the pills are doing the work for you...doctors claim results have been seen within minutes...I would guess Yoga and perhaps learning meditation could have similar results but this device sets up the program on a "how to" basis...but a patient should in no way stop taking pills without consulting their physician...from the demo on the website the music sounds nice...the cost for the unit will set you back about $299.95 but there's a price break if you purchase 2 on the per unit price...if you happen to have a health savings account, it does qualify for the purchase as well....BD

Tests show slower breathing relaxes the muscles in blood vessel walls, making them more flexible.
This eases the pressure exerted on them when the heart tries to pump blood round the body. The handset contains a micro-chip which works out the ideal breathing rate for each patient and plays the appropriate musical tones through the headset.
