 Not worth the money - higher tech snake oil April 26, 2008

Doesn't work any miracles, but it provides a nice, soothing break. Allow me to save you a couple hundred dollars: learn to count your breaths--breathe in to 4-6 beats. Exhale for 10-15 seconds. Do this for 20 minutes and it can lower your blood pressure maybe 10 points (on top). But drop it below 120/80? I haven't experienced that.

The product did help lower my blood pressure but when I told my doctor he didnt want me using it because I have an irregular heartbeat.
Excellent Product ... 1 Thing to watch out for March 23, 2008

This is an excellent product that I've been using for 15 months. I use Resperate several times a day. My blood pressure was rising, typically reading around 135/90. Resperate alone brought that down to a normal level. Since then I've improved my exercise program, diet, and added dark chocolate drinks (that's pure cocoa and hot water). My normal blood pressure now is usually around 115/75.
Here's a prescription that can't hurt you. Use Resperate, stretch, watch your favorite comedy show while sipping a half a glass of red wine (or relaxing beverage of choice). Use Resperate and stretch again. In doing so I've seen my blood pressure drop to ridiculously low levels like 100/62.
Ok, here's the gottcha. I don't recommend ever letting your breathing rate drop below 4.5 breaths per minute (will vary per individual), especially right before bed (the manufacturer suggests never dropping below 5 BPM). I've experienced sleep apnea after doing so (which I've never experienced any other time). It's a temporary thing and only an annoyance, but easily avoided. If you do like to use Resperate right before bed, be sure to maintain a high enough breathing rate for you or work in 5 minutes of stretching or some light activity (even brushing your teeth) before you actually go to sleep. I've never heard of anyone else having this problem so I could be unique.
It's great. It helped lower my blood pressure by 10 points. March 8, 2008

I followed the breathing tones and slowed down my breathing to around 6 per minute. My blood pressure came down from 135/88 to 120/78 in 2 weeks.
 Ya Know - I think it's working, but I've only had it 3 weeks February 15, 2008

I've only had the product for 3 weeks, but I think the measured breathing has lowered my blood pressure. I'm still on medication, but my readings in the middle of the afternoon, when my readings are usually higher (in the 145/80 range) have been in the 115/63 range now. So I'm going to give it another week and take my readings to the doc to see if I can cut back on the medications. I had to call the product specialist line several times because I was over-doing some things, but if this little device can lower my blood pressure w/o medication, great!! Don't like taking pills. If I can continue with these lower readings w/o the medications, I'll give it a 5-Star.
