I have htn, and can testify to certain behaviors that have lowered my pressure drastically. Sitting still, breathing in and out evenly for 3 minutes, clearing my mind, and going from 150/90 to 120/72 after practicing that.
This is exactly what I've found also. I can bring mine down from 140/90 to 122/78 in about 4 minutes by using this technique. Focusing on the breath and nothing else is the key for me. I can get overly agitated by thinking about politics, etc., which can immediately raise my blood pressure.
A Doctor, when you walk in their office should always let you sit and rest for five minutes. If they’re asking you questions tell them to come back and give you time to calm down. I have the white coat syndrome. Every time I go to the doctors my blood pressure is high at home it’s fine.
Like a pilots checklist before takeoff... No Doctors office BP checks home readings best No rush no white coat syndrome Use cuff machine not wrist ones Go to bathroom if needed Don't be cold No coffee before No pets around kids nearby Sit quietly 5 min Breath in 5 secs hold 5 Exhale 8 5x Think happy thoughts Keep cuff at heart level Sit up straight feet flat on the floor Discard 1st reading and wait 3 min repeat Do again and compare And as my former GP said "Stop taking your BP too often once a week enough or you'll drive it nuts" Lower stress, exercise, eat right, don't smoke all good too
I agree with 99% .. Apply all of these steps, but take your BP at 5 mins, 10 mins & 15 mins. Twice a day, for two weeks, morning & night. Then find your average and that will be your truest BP.
When doing the Valsalva Maneuver my heart rate jumped from about mid 80s to low 90s and then very quickly went down to 60 and then 57. It went back up to mid 70s after about a minute. I can believe it went that low, I also felt very calm. Thank you so much!
@@isobelpullen5870I faced same issue today in clinic . First it was 163/108 . They were shocked it is very high. After doing some physical exam before going home I sat in chair I followed some mudra ( apana vayuu mudra) n breathing technique for 3-4 minutes and doctor called me inside to recheck my bp it was 128/78
Dr Rice, thank you so much for teaching these techniques to lower blood pressure. My blood pressure was 134 and 77 and was feeling chest discomfort and tight. Then i did your exercises, it went down to 128 and 76 instantly. Then i repeated your exercises again and my bp went down again to 113 and 74 instantly and now my chest feel more relax. May i know do you have exercises for high pulse rate and also yoyo blood pressure, my blood pressure is sometimes very high or low or normal. How can i have normal blood pressure and pulse rate? Thanks again. So happy today i bump into your youtube channel.
I went into my doctor, and the day I went in I was already stressed out, and then they asked me about my life, and I had just lost my sister, so I was crying and upset, and then they took my blood pressure, and my blood pressure was up, so they put me on blood pressure medicine after they tortured me with questions. These doctors are very uneducated about blood pressure. When I was in my thirties I had just gotten into fight with my husband and I went into the doctor and my blood pressure was really high and the doctor said don't worry, you do not have high blood pressure, you're just very stressed out, are you okay??. I told him I just got in a fight with my husband. Then my blood pressure was completely normal after that, but this new doctor I got recently, immediately put me on a low dose of blood pressure. These doctors not knowing what they're doing is really putting stress on their patients.
I always tell me if they’re going to keep talking to me they’re not gonna take my blood pressure when they’re done talking let me know give me five minutes and then you can take my blood pressure. Sorry you have to go through that.
My BP is always higher at the Dr ‘s office than when I check it at home. I’m going to try these techniques next time. They did work when I tried them at home, so that’s promising.
In all this utube video that I am watching this dr is one of kind . Less lengthy talk , get to the point and talks about subject that video title says . And great technics
@@DrMitchRice I just tried it out. My diastolic value was 100, after pressing the aorta for 1 minute, it dropped to 84. Now, I'm gonna check the science behind it. _so cool_
Same with my weight. It’s always three or four pounds heavier at the docs. 😂 Recently my BP was 140/75 and the nurse was not concerned. That was high for me. But I was getting ready for a medical procedure and she said it was fine. Mine is usually 115/68.
Truly helpful. Thank you. Have tried it, and it works for me, specially when I notice my blood presure is high (head blows up, headache, polygon vision), I need something to lower it fast. (I am 78 and have had high blood pressure since 40)
I developed a breathing technique that involves a specific ratio of 1-4. That is, the inhalation is a specific time and the exhalation is 4 times the inhalation. I've been using a metronome for timing. I started with the inhalation at 4 seconds and the exhalation is 16 seconds. I am now at 6 seconds in and 24 seconds out. I do this twice a day for 15 to 20 minutes each time. The breath needs to be smooth to full lung inhalation and slow smooth exhalation to clear the lungs. After the session I relax for about 3 to 5 minutes before checking the BP. It's important that the body and the heart be relaxed before the BP is taken or it won't be as accurate as possible. My readings tend to be in the low 120s/68-9 to high to mid-teens 115/68. When the BP goes up it is due an external or internal factor such as being cold (I think that's why hospitals and doctor's offices are kept cold), having to urinate, pain or some other physical problem. Try it. I think you'll like it.
If you extend the exhale in the box breathing technique, it's even more effective, because when you exhale, your body secretes a chemical that slows your heart rate. So I breathe in for 4 seconds, hold it for 4 seconds, then exhale for 12 seconds. This is what I do when I have panic attacks.
Awesome doctor Mitch that's really good to know because this BP problem is a pain in the neck knowing some tricks to handle besides pills is very helpful thanks for the info keep up the good work
I just had my blood pressure taken yesterday and I pulled up my sleeve, it was 160 something over 90 something. The doctor came in and took it again and when I went to pull up my sleeve he said to leave it down because it creates a tourniquet effect and raises blood pressure, when he took it it was already down to 130 something over 80 something.
I love this. I have white coat hypertension which is always alarming when I have it taken. But then if a nurse or doctor jokes about enough, it drops to normal range.. or at least drops enough for them to be reassured. And also if they take it properly with a stethoscope rather than a machine, it's normal.. so I do wonder if those machine cuffs don't help. IDK. But now I'll try this also before getting it taken. And I'll invoke the unicorns, very helpful to know about them 😂😇
I agree! Those cuffs send me into a panic. I once had one ( Later found out it was malfunctioning but the nurse filling in that day didn't know) squeezing so hard that I was screaming.....and you don't want to know THOSE resulting numbers. I had my doctor take it again with his own 'gizmo" and the numbers were way lower. Hard to shake that memory...
Try the Shepard Reflex: vigorous back scratching lowers blood pressure. This hasn't been formally documented but we tried it in the operating room at work.
😮 amazing. It worked. I have a salt/weight blood pressure problem. Once in a blue moon it can get extremely high eating too much salt. On those rare days this could save my life . Thanks
My advice if yr pressure is very high go see a doctor very soon. Dont play around doing so can cause a stroke. Tips as these are fine to reduce pressure some. The same goes for taking vitamins or herbs. Either may or may not help some or do nothing.
I have High BP and don't want to take medication if possible, mine usually shoots up high when stressed. I drink green tea with cinnamon in it,helps some. I will definitely try this next time. I've always tried to breathe deeply before. Thank you. I have a BP machine after I fell and went to urgent care,found out it was high. Wondered why I was dizzy sometimes. Cut my salt intake but cheat sometimes. Thank you,saved this video
@DrMitchRice It's important but they keep dropping the "normal" levels. Long ago it was 140/90, them 130/80, now 120/80. Some countries even have higher levels that are deemed normal today. I suspect they keep lowering it to cast a wider net and get more people on pills. Next 0/0 (dead!) will be what they tell us to shoot for. Most people aren't going to have the same numbers they had at 17 when they're 40 or 50. There are a lot of people who are fine that they are putting on pills just because they don't have the exact number the medical cabal tells us they should have.
I make an appointment with my doctor. She arrives at least a full hour later. While waiting in the “hurry up and wait room” i can feel my blood pressure rising. Then she rushes in - no apology - which makes me madder. So,is it any wonder my blood pressure is high. Then it is on to another blood pressure medication.
I am a big fan of breathing...lol...There have been 2 times in my life when being able to control my breathing saved my life... and yes, I was surprised how low I could bring my blood pressure doing it without really trying...
The last 3 times I've had my BP taken with a machine, it was really high around 155/95. I asked for a manual cuff and without changing anything it was to acceptable levels around 125/80. I take my BP at home so I knew the second one was right. The dentist also took it during this time period and it was the lower one. I'm assuming it's the pain. I'm 61 and don't remember machines being so painful until about 10 years ago. I wonder how many people are on BP meds just because they're getting it taken with the machines? The bad part, I was told they have to take the first one and couldn't change it on my record.
I am 84 and have request the wrist cuff because the pain level of the arm is so intense it bring tears to my eyes and like you the level is very high. I also take it at home every day and it is always at an acceptable level.
@@margaretbedwell3211I'm 56 and the mechanical BP feels like it's going to break my arm. It causes me to begin a panic attack, which sends my BP sky high. I fully believe that's the intention to raise insurance rates and get us all on prescriptions
I suffer from High BP even though I don't smoke drink alcohol. I run 30-40 miles a week and swim 3-5 miles per week. I tried those techniques above and my BP is much worse now going to 197/116.
No, I've never taken anything. My doctor gave me rampiril, but after reading the side effects I decided to not take them. I'm looking for a natural cure.@@no-one9484
I mom is this kind of people whose bp is higher than average high bp since she was on her 50’s. Now she is 87.She takes a lot of medications and she can have it very high and live like she is okay. It is sad,though.
Thanks for the tips, doc! Tried it and my pulse went down right away! Haven't checked my blood pressure yet. How many times in a day this should be done, to reduce the pulse and blood pressure, if they can be reduced permanently.
@@madhurao9456 wrote, _"If it's not a permanent fix, what is the point in doing these?"_ It's an intervention. One might presume that someone interested in these techniques is also interested in their overall health. Modifying diet, increasing movement, and managing stress are all things that we can do along the path toward better health, but their desired outcome doesn't happen overnight. So, while one is 'on the path', these can be used to clip occasional rises in blood pressure. In particular, managing stress is a big part of the overall strategy. Doing these interventions throughout the day acts as a 'reset', which breaks the pattern of constantly elevated blood pressure. Think of it as a sort of training via repetition, to help your nervous system to relax _vs. being constantly stressed throughout each day)._
@@madhurao9456the point is, if you don't actually have high blood pressure, do this if it always reads high at the dr's office. Mine does this. It was fine on 24 hr monitoring, but always high in Dr's office.
I have htn, and can testify to certain behaviors that have lowered my pressure drastically. Sitting still, breathing in and out evenly for 3 minutes, clearing my mind, and going from 150/90 to 120/72 after practicing that.
I'll try the deep breathing again, maybe I'm not doing it right.
I only go from 150 to 144 fml.
Wow
That is great. It's a good natural way to do it.

I have exactly the same problem. It would be nice if some expert talked about this white coat syndrome to help us with our BP.
yeah thats funny!! when have ever been to a doctor and walked right in??
never!!
@@carlos-cs8ysI have the same problem.
@@carlos-cs8ysSame here. Always high at the Dr office, just fine when I’m home.
Me too
Like a pilots checklist before takeoff...
No Doctors office BP checks home readings best No rush no white coat syndrome
Use cuff machine not wrist ones
Go to bathroom if needed
Don't be cold
No coffee before
No pets around kids nearby
Sit quietly 5 min
Breath in 5 secs hold 5
Exhale 8 5x
Think happy thoughts
Keep cuff at heart level
Sit up straight feet flat on the floor
Discard 1st reading and wait 3 min repeat
Do again and compare
And as my former GP said "Stop taking your BP too often once a week enough or you'll drive it nuts"
Lower stress, exercise, eat right, don't smoke all good too
Love this! Thanks!

Techniques mentioned by him really worked for me,thanks for sharing these techniques with everyone.
I'm doing this next time I am in the waiting room of the doctors. My BP always freaks them out and me too. It's never that bad at home.
I’m the same,normal Bp at home,but go to doc and it’s up…..it’s called white coat syndrome 😊

Unfortunately not a permanent fix!
@@DrMitchRice If it's not a permanent fix, what is the point in doing these? Just to beat the White Coat Syndrome ? 😀

It's an intervention. One might presume that someone interested in these techniques is also interested in their overall health. Modifying diet, increasing movement, and managing stress are all things that we can do along the path toward better health, but their desired outcome doesn't happen overnight. So, while one is 'on the path', these can be used to clip occasional rises in blood pressure.
In particular, managing stress is a big part of the overall strategy. Doing these interventions throughout the day acts as a 'reset', which breaks the pattern of constantly elevated blood pressure. Think of it as a sort of training via repetition, to help your nervous system to relax _vs. being constantly stressed throughout each day)._

@@madhurao9456the point is, if you don't actually have high blood pressure, do this if it always reads high at the dr's office. Mine does this. It was fine on 24 hr monitoring, but always high in Dr's office.
