This is a shorter version of our popular 5 min IMST breathing exercise to lower blood pressure. Some viewers reported being light headed at the end of the 5min breathing exercise so we produced this shorter version which should be repeated twice daily. These breathing exercises are somewhat similar to meditation to lower blood pressure.

Research published in June 2021 shows that IMST breathing exercise performed just for 5min daily for 6 weeks reduced systolic blood pressure by 9 units. The scientists have shown that IMST breathing increases natural production of Nitric Oxide by our bodies which helps to dilate blood vessels and lower blood pressure. IMST breathing exercises produces similar results as compared to meditation for high blood pressure. Try this exercise for high blood pressure for yourself.

What is IMST breathing exercise? It is inhaling with a high level of resistance, 75% of your maximum inspiratory capacity. Then exhaling freely.

Here is the link to the research https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.11...

Researchers used a special device to control the level of resistance. We’ll use our thumbs instead of such a device to restrict inhaling. Keep your mouth closed and use thumbs to limit air flow through nostrils during inhale. You know that you are doing it right, when it is quite hard for you to inhale and your diaphragm muscle is raising. This will lead to increase in natural production of Nitric Oxide by our bodies. It is better to do this exercise sitting as you may feel light headed. Stop the exercise if you feel dizzy or rather uncomfortable. The research suggests applying this technique for 30 breaths daily. We inhale for 8 seconds through the nose and exhale for 2 seconds through the mouth. We’ll use an onscreen breathing circle from our app BreathNow to help us with timing.

I am Dmitri, health enthusiast. I developed a passion for health topics in my mid forties when I was diagnosed with anxiety and high blood pressure and my doctor advised me breathing exercise and physical exercises to lower anxiety and high blood pressure naturally. I started from deep breathing, walking and gradually progressed to running to address high blood pressure. Currently in my mid fifties, I fixed anxiety and high blood pressure and compete in global endurance races. I also actively practice breathing exercises, yoga, meditation and meditation music to lower blood pressure.
