Re: Breathing and Blood Pressure

Donna, I have used body flex and oxycise, but I always

thought it was the isometric exercises and not the

breathing that caused the BP to rise.

It seems that I missed the forward you sent to the list Donna, because the

message that Joy is replying to is one I didn't get.

I think it is the vacuum at the end of the breath that causes the blood

pressure to raise. I will have to check mine on each of the breaths. I

don't have high blood pressure, but my husband does, so we have the

equipment to check it. I think that some of the other breaths might be

better for people with high blood pressure such as the BBB (Bay watch Bikini

Breath), which is the same breath that the late night guru Tony Robbins used

to lose weight. I think it might even be the same breath that he talks

about in his new program he is pushing. It doesn't involve the vacuum at

the end of the breath.

I'll let you know what I find on each of the breaths and how they effect my

blood pressure.

Hello Tammy,

I'm on Lisinopril now but 5mg.However my BP is still too high. I was on

Lisinopril HCT 12/25 once a day also..

Verapmil 240mg once a day

Metoprol 100mg once a day

Lipitor 10mg once a day

Look up your meds or call the pharmacy and read the paper that comes with your

meds..see if they cause breathing problems...most if not all of these do...

Went to a breathing clinic and she said my breathing was more than

fine.......Now that is...

Are you on any of these? Let me know what you find out...it reached a point that

I could no longer lay in bed with out half way sitting up and would get out of

breath do in any thing!

Good luck Tammy

Hi Geri,

I am on HCTZ(water pill) and a potassium pill.

Since the weather has gotten colder here in Northeast Ohio I have

been having some labored breathing especially in the evening.
