Good video. I have a few IMST devices. Most studies also empathize the resistant exhalation as well for the best benefits for lower pressure. I like to rotate the resisted inhale and exhale. Thanks again for putting this out there and I can state wholeheartedly that this works for asthmatic conditions, general lung capacity, and overall vo2 capacity.

Just bought one! Looking forward to getting results.

Wow!!! I’ve noticed that when I’m extremely anxious or in a panic. I shallow breathe very much, I have short breathes in my upper chest. As a result I’ve had high bp readings of 160:90, yet when I’ve done deep breathing techniques and I’m in a relaxed state I’ve gone to 123-75. Just insane. As someone who’s battled w anxiety for many years, doctors don’t tell u alot of this, instead they want to prescribe all kinds of anxiety pills and bp medicine.

Also- lack of SLEEP over time plays a factor in high numbers. Most people including those with hypertension don't get 8 hours of quality sleep per day. Recently it's been shown that even short(25-45 minute) noontime naps can have positive effects in lowering blood pressure as well.

I agree!

I fought traffic, got highly stressed and barely made my annual doctor appointment. They hooked me up to their machine, and my first-blush BP was 166/95...pretty awful. Stress and the "white-coat effect' were in full flower. I said, "Give me a few minutes." They gave me a few minutes. I closed my eyes, used THE ABOVE breathing techniques, and my pressure dropped to 127/77. Holy Macaroni. My nurse and doctor were STUNNED by my sudden BP reduction.

I am a competitive powerlifter and consequently have to weight quite a bit more than my natural set point to be competitive. The process of gaining the weight over the years had taken a toll on my blood pressure. But after three weeks of this exercise twice a day, my BP has gone from 150/100 down to 119/69. I made no other changes to my diet, exercise or body weight. I have sent this video to every single strength athlete I know.

In Hatha yoga, there is a practice called Kaki mudra which creates the Same effect without using any device. Hari OM

I read a report on Yahoo in summer of 2021 about this. I immediately bought a device (a cheap one also) and have been doing it ever since. I followed the protocol from the Univ. of Colorado described in the news article which is: a set of 6 breaths, rest one minute or more, repeat four more times, done once per day, six days per week. (With gradual increase in resistance). I'm going to give this somewhat different approach a try as well. Imagine, a technique that doesn't involve ONGOING MEDS (and their side effects) or expensive equipment. NEVER saw another article about it until this video. Thanks.

Great video, Lucas! Very well explained and presented. One thing that’s not clear to me is how much air I should get into my lungs during the 8 seconds compared to a full deep breath.

I just bought a breathing device, and am ready to get to work. One question, though; should my inhalations feel like "belly breathing", in which I can feel my gut expanding? I guess the "contraction of the diaphragm" vs the expansion of my gut confused me a bit. Thanks so much for your great video.

Hi Lucas! Thank you for this video! This is exactly what I explain to my clients who come to my counselling sessions. Medications are only one part of the equation (and sometimes we even don't need the; I agree every situation is unique), we have to help our body with natural behaviors such as breathing and make them a part of our life. Change in behavior is what leads to prolonged changes. I'll be glad to share this video with others!

Hi Lucas, thank you very much for the video. I have very erratic BP, and I hope this exercise will help stabilize it. My question is how much air should one breathe in with the device? I am not sure if I am letting in too much or too little air, since all I can see is a plus and a minus sign on the knob. Thanks

I used a trompette embouchurr. You just have to partially plug the small hole at the end to adjust the resistance. I have my own so I don't have to steal it from my son's trumpet. Works well.

Thanks for this video. I took your advice and bought a breathing device online for about $18. I have a question though. According to the directions that come with that device, they say to do 25 explosive breaths in a row with no holding your breath in-between. I need to get my blood pressure down so I want to make sure I'm following the best advice. Do you recommend to follow those directions or stick with yours?

Awesome just got mine today and did the workout, i hope it lowers my BP. Question, The more resistance that you have it set on the better correct?!

By this logic, are those who play larger breath based instruments also naturally better at this/have stronger diaphragms? Or does this go in reverse as they focus a lot more on prolonged and resistant exhalation?

Hey Lucas. As there's so much emphasis on nose breathing these days, what do you think of partially blocking the nostrils aka pratiloma pranayama as an alternative to this? I wonder if similar results for lowering blood pressure would occur? Of course, no device needed at all which makes it especially practical. I'm keen to know your opinion :)

Can you inhale through this as well and why do you take it out of your mouth?

My brother had a stroke and for him is hard to do coordination breathwork on his own so we purchased him incentive spirometer which he can view the feedback using the balls hitting the top of device which each inhale. Even though he is not using the incentive spirometer for its intended use, you think the he can lower blood pressure this way as well?
