High Heart Rate or Blood Pressure? Do This Breathing Exercise

Just the other day, I had a good friend of mine call me…

He was panicked, wondering if he should go to the hospital.

His blood pressure was a whopping 190/10 and his heart rate was around 120 (1). Not knowing what he should do, I had him try a breathing technique (the one I’m going to show you below).

Within minutes, we were able to get his heart down to 83 and his blood pressure down to 140/83. And later on that day, his heart rate leveled out at 72, while his blood pressure decreased to 120/82.

There’s an astounding connection between your breath and your blood pressure and heart rate. The good thing to know is that you have the power to control your breath and in turn, control your blood pressure and heart rate.
