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.
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
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.
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.
Taking my blood pressure automatically raised my worry level so I did some research. I read that emptying your bladder, and sitting relaxed, back in the chair with your feet flat on the ground makes a difference when taking your blood pressure, so I tried it. I was actually stunned by the difference it made. So that with the breathing gives me a more realistic reading.
Makes a big difference!
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.
Great idea!
I’m going to try this. From Isle of Wight UK
I use to do box breathing but I can lower it more by breathing 7 seconds in and 7 seconds out
Oblong breathing 😊
Great to know. Thank you.
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!
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.
Thank you...that is helpful ❤
Thank you Sir ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
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.
AMAZING!!! I just took my BP, it was 128/90. I did the Valsalva Maneuver, took it again and it was instantly down to 106/83.
My doctors nurse resembled jLo and when she took my vitals my blood pressure was 160/110 and my HR 105. This was average even with medication. One appointment she was on vacation. My vitals were 127/70 65. The temp nurse was 60 years old and over weight. My doctor now takes my vitals. No meds everything good.

As someone who has been on various (increasing) meds for hypertension for a little over 10 years - never has anyone suggested any of these easy tips to me. I've sat in my GPs chair many times with the Dr saying "it's a little high, just relax and breath" but that's it. Great stuff Dr. 👍🏅
Thanks Joe!! Next time you see your GP -- shock them with one of these haha
If they keep giving more meds to control the bp go see a kidney specialist, I was on 6 meds , sent to kidney specialist, he gave me a med that attacked the cause, in my case the adrenal glands were causing the problem, know down to 3 meds and well controlled
@@JamesAnderson-mr2sg5:23
Exactly
@@JamesAnderson-mr2sg That's exactly where I am now mate. Have had the saline suppression test and a CT an am having an AVS Monday with the look to potentially either remove one of my glands or if both are overproducing then meds to control it.
... " breathing is literally everything we do" !!

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!
Fabulous, very helpful. Thanks Doctor. ❤

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.
Will give it a try.every time I go to the clinic for my check up BP very high..I wonder why
Really enjoyed this video 😊 thx for sharing.... smiles
