Reducing Blood Pressure

[Spikeyjaycee]

Hi guys - just a quickie. I vaguely remember reading a post in the last week or so about a breathing exercise that can reduce your blood pressure by a few points within minutes. Thing is I can't remember which post it was!!!! I have to see the nurse tomorrow for a BP reading and I was hoping to use this breathing exercise to see if it worked. Can anyone shed any light on it for me? Thanking you in advance. Julie x

I have high blood pressure and the doctor always gets me to sit very still for at least 5 mins before reading, hope this helps. Love Karen

Thanks for the replies guys. I read somewhere on the internet that if you sit quietly for 5 mins and repeat the same word or phrase over and over, its supposed to work too. I guess my word will be 'operation, operation, operation..........' LOL
