He's right, not only about immediate lowering but also about over time. I got my bp down significantly with this technique, then didn't do it for two months--and bp went right back up. Started in again and it's been low for months. Just 5 min. a day. This is a lifesaver.
Isn't doing the breathing exercise cheating? Like lowering your BP with a breathing technique rather than taking it as usual, meaning your actual blood pressure?
For the past week, my BP readings have ranged from 140-160 systolic and 90s on the diastolic. It really bummed me out. Then this video popped out because I was searching for ways to manage my BP. I was SKEPTICAL to say the least, but I had nothing to lose so I tried it. 129/78. I could not believe it. I tried it twice, decided my cuff was to big, so I switched to a smaller cuff. 129/76. I haven't hit those numbers in God knows how long. Thank you so much! I will incorporate this breathing technique to my everyday life.
I just tried your breathing technique and I’ll I can say is wow 😳! My blood pressure this morning was 131/91. After watching this video and doing the breathing technique for 5 minutes my blood pressure dropped to 118/82! I’ll be using this technique every day to help keep my blood pressure in check. Thanks doc! 😁🙌🏻
Same here, my usual BP is 135/84... after 2 minutes of deep breathing it came to 116/74 ...WOW! this works ...15 minutes later it was still 120/75 amazing
yes totally agree to do the breathing exercises every day. Also be aware that constant blood pressure checking can also raise anxiety levels. Just check it once per week if you don’t have high bp issues but definitely do the breathing every day. Another good indicator of stress and anxiety is your pulse. That can be checked with a device called a pulsimeter which also measures your blood oxygen levels. 133/75 first reading from walking. After 5 minutes deep breathing 112/73 . As you can see the systolic is the one that really benefits from the deep breathing
Had my obs in hospital yesterday. I often get " white coat syndrome" when BP is taken and it shoots up, sometimes to 160 systolic. Did the breathing exercise before it was taken and systolic was 116. Nurse couldn't believe it as she knows what I'm like. I told her about the breathing and she said it obviously works. By the way I'm 63 yrs old.
how long was the breathing before the BP measurement? Congrats, btw. I'm 46 yrs old and find that my blood pressure too shoots up when having it measured at the doctors office.
@@МыколаНетребко I do the breathing for about 5- 10 mins before it's taken. Another thing I do when they are putting on the cuff is to breathe through the nose to count of 2, hold it for 2, then let it go to a count of 5 and just gently do this during the procedure. Good luck and Happy Christmas.
@@philipprice171 thanks merry Christmas to you as well. I have a Resperate device that really relaxes me but I can’t seem to replicate the effect without it.
Oh hey I got a wrist monitor and I got 160 syst over 120 I also think I am going to incorporate music Singing makes the body an instrument and the sou d quality may give me a metric I can correlate when I have no cuff After the breathing but I started feeling nervous the minute I started taking my BP
Thank you so much. I had a terrible fright today. BP187/67. Deep breathing (plus squeezing a tennis ball) brought it down to 165/64 in 5 minutes. I know I need to exercise more, but Covid19 has kept me inside for far too long at 80 years old. I will do the breathing technique now each morning and evening.
How were you squeezing the tennis ball, any certain way & did you do that in each hand- while you where doing this breathing. Also can I ask if you were on any Rx for your high blood pressure at the same time as doing the exercises? I ask because my blood pressure is close to yours was then. I realize the medical professionals want us to quickly go to ER if the above number in reading above 180. If I had any other symptoms at all I would, all I know is I've been stressed out crazy for too long with personal terrifying issues & I'd really like to see if I can find a way to lower it naturally before I go that route - sounds like you did just that too. Anything else like changing your diet or anything else you can suggest - I would appreciate. Hoping you see & reply to my comment - can see it's been a year since your comment & would be so nice if all of us knew you were still ok 🙂
@@dianasolfest7237 Hi. I am on no medication at all. I take a Vit D plus calcium supplement. That's all. About the tennis ball, I use that as an isometric exercise help. I just squeeze and release between my palms. Hope that helps. As far as diet goes, I eat pretty healthy. Lots of fruit and freshly prepared food. Good quality sourdough bread, preferably seeded. No takeaways, cookies, sweets, crisps, colas, etc.
I am delighted to see your comment I guess it spooks me so u sound pretty poised Caught my attention There's a lot of support out here and goodness gracious I hope I didn't sound sarcastic So that I connect to the thread of commonality It seems I felt a little better when I could stop trying to figure everything out alone
Ok this is freaking amazing...from 170/100 to 135/65 in 10 minutes...i have to talk to my doctor about this bc the medication does not work very well on me
The medical-industrial complex doesn't train doctors, do research, or inform the public about such techniques 'cause there's no money in it for them.

Thanks to the powers that be for practical advice like this--and professionals who model and walk the walk themselves, which makes all the difference
Same. I've been able to maintain it by trying to be mindful of breathing deeply as often as it comes to mind. I noticed a tendency to take very shallow breaths when I'm not thinking about it. It's been great being off meds. They made me dizzy and made me cough.
I just reached those number today. I know this vid is old, but this comment is to thank you. This would have disqualified me from driving for a company. From my initial visit to a doctor, he saw that the BP was too high. Adding garlic into meals definitely helps as well.
Ok so I went with superbeets chews been on these since last week and incorporated your deep breathing my highest was 178/88 all time best tonight 119/68!!!! Thank you thank you thank you ❤
Thank you so much for this video! I'm struggling a little bit with keeping my blood pressure balanced and this breathing technique is legendary. I just tried it now by taking my blood pressure before and after breathing like this and my end result was that my blood pressure had dropped considerably! I wish I would have known about this sooner before going to any of my doctor's appts where I always get a high blood pressure reading. Thanks again!
Thank you! It's so helpful to see you actually doing it. I have 'white coat' high blood pressure, so I will do this at home - and when I go to see my G.P., too!
Do the breathing exercises regularly and LOOK FORWARD rather than avoid having BP taken. Avoidance raises anxiety so BP will rise when it is taken. Going in with a smile knowing you've done the correct breathing calms you down.
Wow you are such an amazing doctor story the breathing exercise works perfectly,though I don't have a bp machine at home but I can really feel going down through the exercise,you are a blessing to me ,am from Lusaka Zambia
💙 this, For anyone watching, contemplating doing this every day just as he says, do it. It's worth the little time and it does work. Works the first time & everytime. From what I've researched and experienced personally, doing this breathing exercise daily 1,2, 3 times a day, recreates a neuro pathway in your brain 🧠 that in time, automatically sends the signal to your body to maintain lower blood pressure on its own. Be consistent and stay positive, add healthy eating and a little exercise to the mix and watch magic happen. Thank you, Dr Story! 🤗 Breathing everyday is a heck of allot easier than relaying on a pill everyday. Cheaper too. 😅 A little advice from someone who cares & experienced it first hand ✋
This has been very effective for me. I had a bp of 90/138 within 3 minutes it was down to 83/124. Surprisingly my pulse was way higher the second time I checked.
Dr. Story is miraculous with this for a migraine. At first sign, (following super carefully the diaphragmatic instruction): 1) Notice it starts at about 3 sec in breath, 3 sec outbreath
Stress centers in tight stomach muscles. That's what raises your blood pressure. That's why being overweight is no friend to your blood pressure as it just adds to stomack pressure on the aorta. Your breathing exercises simply release some of that stomack tension and allow the blood to flow smoothly.
Wow. From 150/81/85 down to 112/63/72 in 30 mins (was doing something in the 30 mins). No meds for me at next doc check up. Thank you, so thankful. Hate meds.
I have seen other videos where they suggest to male the exhale longer than the inhale, but in your case is the opposite. I am bit confused as to how to do it. Thanks!
Your diastolic went up..that's the important reading. It's supposed to remain the same. Systolic will change throughout the day anyway. Deep breathing does help calm your sympathetic system (fight or flight)down, so done regularly will help agreed.
My diastolic drops from 90 to 82 with deep breathing. But the question is which one is the correct reading( The one with breathing or the one without breathing) ??
not to be the bearer of bad news but several articles have reported this lowering of blood pressure as a reason not to do it before measuring blood pressure because it can mask an elevated pressure.
@@AdamJStoryDC yes definitely as long as the message is deep breathing to relax and not that deep breathing should be used before taking your blood pressure in a consultation setting to get an artificially lower reading that does not represent the daily relaxing blood pressure with no deep breathing :-)
I don't know your age but we have different criteria for different age groups. We also measure from the left arm, the right arm, before meals and after meals. There is a pattern you need to expect. The left arm reading is associated with the stomach and the right arm the liver. So you would expect the number on the left arm higher after meals and the opposite is for the right arm. So you can tell if your stomach is functioning right. We also take account of the glucose level and the heart beat and body temperature do you can tell if you have an infection or a fever. We worry if the numbers drop low and well before the AMA warns you. You can tell the first stage of cancer from your readings before they tell you that you are on stage 3. If you measure before you eat, you would know what exercise you need to do and what to eat
I actually dont know what is the correct way to breath. When breathing in, should I pull in my stomach n when breath out I release my stomach? Thank you
This is good advice, well presented. I appreciate it and I'm going to follow it. However, here's something I'm thinking about regarding the longterm benefits, that is, regarding a permanent reduction in SP. Assuming you do this every day, then why did your SP go down by 8 mmhg after three minutes of deep breathing? If it's a permanent change, you should have seen almost no pre vs post breathing different in SP. Perhaps without your daily breathing, your SP would have been 138 mmhg or more? Thanks for your thoughts.
I am very curious, when when your pressure was higher the pulse was 53 and after breading the pulse was 61? I also tried to do the breading , but when I am infront of the pressure machine I am never clam, I don't know how to control it, that's why I think me readings are very diferent every day, can be deal, normal or high, it is a nightmare :( . A doctor told me that he thinks I have paroxistic pressure, basically I am scare to the machine and scare when I go hospitals also, but my hearth beats not always increase with the pressure, that's why my previous question. Thanks
ALOHA FROM HONOLULU, HAWAII-(a very stressful town) DR STORY 🤙 God is good. He gives us the power over our bodies!! Try 202/119 I have been working on it for a week with breathing techniques. All my sources let me down. I have gotten it down to average of 155/98 still not good. I followed along with you thinking same right? WOW is right. I was wrong!!!!! 121/83 66 Now this made stress leave me
Sorry I cut myself off! Notice His in breath gets longer. Outbreath stairs I have a three seconds.Set this reading up on the Breathe application or Follow him for his good company. migraine gone!
Absolutely works. I woke up with a high reading 🤯 but I took it again after eating, taking the Blood Flow & Oganic Beet supplements and doing the breathing with Dr Story At 2nd reading I was Down 10 points on the systolic and 3 points on the diastolic.!!! 👏 👍
@@saifurrahman7907 I started drinking celery juice and pomegranate and doing the healthy stuff and it's helping staying away from salt and try to stay away from sweets as much as possible
I've tried the deep breathing exercises, regularly go for walks / bike rides, eat beat roots, drink hibiscus, add ginger and cinnamon to my porridge along with blueberries. My last visit to the doctor the blood pressure was 230 / 110 mm - so still a tad high! Looks like I'm resistant to the conventional modes for reducing blood pressure. Trouble is causes of high blood pressure is idiopathic and so the doctor will not investigate the cause and just give you blood pressure medication even though your body is a self-regulating device and not short of Ramipril or Amlodipine. How can you I free of the cycle and actually narrow down the cause of high blood pressure - kidneys, adrenals, liver, heart or lungs and use natural solutions?
I've been worried about my diastolic blood pressure for quite some time. my blood pressure hovers around 115/58 - 120/64 and after meditating; 115/52. I don't feel lightheaded or anything, but should I be worried?
Hi my anxiety always kicks in when u go to the doctors and good my blood pressure. I do take blood pressure medicine now but I honestly think it’s because of my anxiety when I go the doctors. Can someone please advise me what I can do so I don’t have these panics at the doctors?
Hi Doctor Story, thanks for putting this video, it really helps. I just had one small question, is it advisable to do this activity after an exercise like jogging, walking or any other workout, or should we do this while your resting in any point of the day
@@AdamJStoryDCHi doctor Story Thanks for the reply, I do excercise at home 5-6 days a week and then at the end of my excercise I do the breathing which you have showed in the video. Hence wanted to know that is the breathing excercise best at the end of the workout or should I do that at any point of the day when I am resting at home
It’s a very good question you ask. This will answer your question in detail: th-cam.com/video/NI0cepbN4N0/w-d-xo.html P.S. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Interesting and thank your for the great video! Ive have questions: Not knowing the right systolic and diastolic BP this seems like a small difference. 128 over 56 with HR of 53 vs 120 over 63 with HR of 61. So in clear words what that means is that your Heartrate rose by 8 Points (ca. 15%), systole pressure meaning when the heart contracts fell by 8 Points (ca. 7%) and the Diastole Pressure rose by 8 Points 7 Points (ca. 13%) So the pressure when the heart contracts fell, meaning there is less work the heart has to do, pumping blood in our arteries? And the pressure in our veines rose, meaning there is more bloodflow going back to the heart?
I have a question for the doctor. If you are doing controlled breathing to lower blood pressure, is this an accurate reading? most people dont breath like this normally. Maybe they should. Should a blood pressure check be under "normal" circumstances? BTW it worked for me. 135/81 after 119/72.
I wondered that too , but I think its just a way to condition the arteries to eventually have a generally lower bp, from all the intermittant expanding, along with diet ect
Has anyone experimented with how long after the 5 mins breathing the blood pressure remains lower? Does it start to creep back up straight away or does it remain low for several hours?
He's right, not only about immediate lowering but also about over time. I got my bp down significantly with this technique, then didn't do it for two months--and bp went right back up. Started in again and it's been low for months. Just 5 min. a day. This is a lifesaver.
Isn't doing the breathing exercise cheating? Like lowering your BP with a breathing technique rather than taking it as usual, meaning your actual blood pressure?
Just the sound of the bp machine raises my bp.
I absolutely get that
I have the same problem. That beep.

If you measure before you eat, you would know what exercise you need to do and what to eat
I actually dont know what is the correct way to breath. When breathing in, should I pull in my stomach n when breath out I release my stomach? Thank you
Don't Know. Only problem is it didn't work. I was around 140/95 before and after this.
Played along and got a good reduction. Thanks. What are your thoughts on this breathing vs. 4-7-8 breathing?
it's fine if you like it.
Thanks. This deep breathing seems more relaxing than the 4 7 8.@@AdamJStoryDC
Very useful
Glad to hear that
This is good advice, well presented. I appreciate it and I'm going to follow it. However, here's something I'm thinking about regarding the longterm benefits, that is, regarding a permanent reduction in SP.
Assuming you do this every day, then why did your SP go down by 8 mmhg after three minutes of deep breathing? If it's a permanent change, you should have seen almost no pre vs post breathing different in SP. Perhaps without your daily breathing, your SP would have been 138 mmhg or more? Thanks for your thoughts.
BP is not a static number. It's under constant flux.
is there any down side to low level of co2?
Are u holding the breath once you inhale before exhaling?
I am very curious, when when your pressure was higher the pulse was 53 and after breading the pulse was 61? I also tried to do the breading , but when I am infront of the pressure machine I am never clam, I don't know how to control it, that's why I think me readings are very diferent every day, can be deal, normal or high, it is a nightmare :( . A doctor told me that he thinks I have paroxistic pressure, basically I am scare to the machine and scare when I go hospitals also, but my hearth beats not always increase with the pressure, that's why my previous question. Thanks
Interesting, how’s this compare to bag breathing?
ALOHA FROM HONOLULU, HAWAII-(a very stressful town)
DR STORY 🤙
God is good.
He gives us the power over our bodies!!
Try 202/119 I have been working on it for a week with breathing techniques. All my sources let me down. I have gotten it down to average of 155/98 still not good.
I followed along with you thinking same right? WOW is right. I was wrong!!!!!
121/83 66
Now this made stress leave me
Hiya
These exercises is only for a few minutes then it will rise back up.
So how will it help as the rest of the time it will stay high.
THANKS we are to laziy to breath ...i know I am..my blood pressure machine does not work very well need to get a new one
Sorry I cut myself off! Notice His in breath gets longer. Outbreath stairs I have a three seconds.Set this reading up on the Breathe application or Follow him for his good company. migraine gone!
Absolutely works. I woke up with a high reading 🤯 but I took it again after eating, taking the Blood Flow & Oganic Beet supplements and doing the breathing with Dr Story
At 2nd reading I was Down 10 points on the systolic and 3 points on the diastolic.!!! 👏 👍
I should also say that I am not sure if the supplements had time to kick in but the breathing sure did!
128/59/53 to 120/63/61 while high numbers come down there is increase 59 to 63 and 53 to 61 what does it mean?
Heart is trying harder. Slow down.
I must be stressed because mine went up!
me too
@@saifurrahman7907 I started drinking celery juice and pomegranate and doing the healthy stuff and it's helping staying away from salt and try to stay away from sweets as much as possible
I noticed you exhaled quickly. Is the idea to oxygenate your blood?

Doctor what could I do for my low blood pressure
I have videos on LOW blood pressure but this isn't it. Use the search function and find my videos on LOW blood pressure i.e. HYPOtension
I've tried the deep breathing exercises, regularly go for walks / bike rides, eat beat roots, drink hibiscus, add ginger and cinnamon to my porridge along with blueberries.
My last visit to the doctor the blood pressure was 230 / 110 mm - so still a tad high! Looks like I'm resistant to the conventional modes for reducing blood pressure.
Trouble is causes of high blood pressure is idiopathic and so the doctor will not investigate the cause and just give you blood pressure medication even though your body is a self-regulating device and not short of Ramipril or Amlodipine.
How can you I free of the cycle and actually narrow down the cause of high blood pressure - kidneys, adrenals, liver, heart or lungs and use natural solutions?
Watch this video to get to the root cause: th-cam.com/video/g37i0sth7LM/w-d-xo.html
How long should we do the breathing for?
3 minutes
@@AdamJStoryDC thanks
Do we really have to Exhale out so fast, or can we do it slowly? E.g. keep Inhale and Exhale for same time. Thanks for the video.
Do whatever is the most comfortable for you all
Thank you!
You're welcome!

I tried this and it didn't change a thing. Also wanted to know what monitor you use that does a reading so quickly.
you have to keep at it so your body can find the right metabolic pathway
Your diastolic increased?
I've been worried about my diastolic blood pressure for quite some time. my blood pressure hovers around 115/58 - 120/64 and after meditating; 115/52. I don't feel lightheaded or anything, but should I be worried?
also my heart rate remains around 45 to 55 BPM
stop rubbing in your low blood pressure
Hi my anxiety always kicks in when u go to the doctors and good my blood pressure. I do take blood pressure medicine now but I honestly think it’s because of my anxiety when I go the doctors. Can someone please advise me what I can do so I don’t have these panics at the doctors?
I have many videos on that subject. The videos are on my channel.
Dude I couldn't move bcs I suffer anxiety and every measure is difficult bcs I have blood pressure apparatus fobia and now 120/84
👍
Hi Doctor Story, thanks for putting this video, it really helps. I just had one small question, is it advisable to do this activity after an exercise like jogging, walking or any other workout, or should we do this while your resting in any point of the day
Do this: th-cam.com/video/GZV9Rp48lGE/w-d-xo.html
@@AdamJStoryDCHi doctor Story Thanks for the reply, I do excercise at home 5-6 days a week and then at the end of my excercise I do the breathing which you have showed in the video. Hence wanted to know that is the breathing excercise best at the end of the workout or should I do that at any point of the day when I am resting at home
Hi Dr. Adam! How do you lower the diastolic?
doc does essential hypertension need permanent treatment?
It’s a very good question you ask. This will answer your question in detail: th-cam.com/video/NI0cepbN4N0/w-d-xo.html
P.S. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
@@AdamJStoryDC thank you doc.
Is it permanent low Or temporary? Pl answer
Here's the answer to your important question: th-cam.com/video/NI0cepbN4N0/w-d-xo.html
Interesting and thank your for the great video! Ive have questions:
Not knowing the right systolic and diastolic BP this seems like a small difference.
128 over 56 with HR of 53 vs 120 over 63 with HR of 61.
So in clear words what that means is that your Heartrate rose by 8 Points (ca. 15%),
systole pressure meaning when the heart contracts fell by 8 Points (ca. 7%)
and the Diastole Pressure rose by 8 Points 7 Points (ca. 13%)
So the pressure when the heart contracts fell, meaning there is less work the heart has to do, pumping blood in our arteries?
And the pressure in our veines rose, meaning there is more bloodflow going back to the heart?
yeah, it's all marginal. Worry if it's 240/110, but changes of small % give you ballparks.
hmmm, interesting analysis
I have a question for the doctor. If you are doing controlled breathing to lower blood pressure, is this an accurate reading? most people dont breath like this normally. Maybe they should. Should a blood pressure check be under "normal" circumstances? BTW it worked for me. 135/81 after 119/72.
Same question here
I wondered that too , but I think its just a way to condition the arteries to eventually have a generally lower bp, from all the intermittant expanding, along with diet ect
Has anyone experimented with how long after the 5 mins breathing the blood pressure remains lower? Does it start to creep back up straight away or does it remain low for several hours?
There's actually a video about that. Search "Does it last?" in the search magnifying glass.
