Product Review: Problems with Resperate
Summary: 1 Stars
I wish that I had read the reviews here at Amazon before I spent the money on a Resperate Machine.
This machine is the biggest waste of money I've seen in a long time. The company would not give me the free shipping promised in the newspaper ad so I ordered from Amazon.
I complained about the limited 30-day warranty but was told it would ONLY take 3 - 4 weeks to see any results. Since I have many problems with most BP meds, I was dreaming that this might actually help!
My spouse & I tried it for a month with NO results & left on vacation [no time to send it back]. When we got back we tried it for another month -- my BP went down slightly, his actually went UP.
I asked the company about that and also about whether we had to use this thing for ever. I never got a reply.
I repeated the questions on their forum -- still no answers.
I found this exercise exhausting, frustrating, & boring because the stupid thing does NOT breathe WITH me [now my BP is UP too], and I cannot possibly breathe as it directs me [panting like a dog!]. My husband complains about the same thing.
I would advise people not to waste their money.

First of all I'd like to say I'm really very pleased with Amazon.com with their prompt response to my complaint that the first Resperate machine that I received wasn't working. They immediately sent a replacement which arrived the next day after my complaint. And I was instructed to have the defective item ready for collection by UPS - at no extra cost to me, not even the shipping & handling of the defective item nor of the replacement item.
As with the replacement Resperate machine itself, it is working perfectly - exactly as described in the manual. I have been using it once a day since it arrived and my blood pressure has shown improvement, from a high of 155/101 to a low of 133/96. I am sure my blood pressure will go to a normal of 120/80 as I continue to use it everyday. I am 63 years of age by the way.

I purchased this item at the end of December of 07. I have used it almost every day since for 15 minutes. Blood pressure has dropped by 15-20 points on the high side and about the same on the low. I have also cut my blood pressure medication in half. Before using this I was having trouble controling blood pressure. You have to use it regularly to get results.Product Review: Resperate

I have used this product nearly every day for at least 15 minutes over three weeks now. A few days ago I read on the resperate forums that you can increase the default 15 min sessions so I moved mine up to 20. The more "Therapeutic" minutes you log per day the better. Combined with exercise and low sodium diet, I believe that someday I'll get off the bp meds. I've already begun to question the need for the medicine with this thing. Some days however my bp shoots up and I don't know why. I have noticed my bp goes down in the afternoons and that overall since using this device, my bp in the afternoons has gone down. My bp before using this was 140/85 and lately it's been 132/78. Some mornings my bp has gone down to 119/72, but that's after exercise, honest diet, and breathing exercises the day before. 15 min to start is not hard to do. The "guiding" tones are easy to follow and overall I feel relaxed after each session. A couple times I actually fell asleep...which is not recommended and when your breathing goes off the path, the device wakes you up and tells you how to get back on track. It's all good. If you are spending $$ on medicines, I recommend you buy it. Maybe you can lower your dose or get off it entirely by using this thing. The retail cost of my bp w/o insurance is $190 per 90-day supply. This resperate device could eventually be quite a cheap investment with a great ROI.Product Review: Resperate

Probably, I have not had the chance to throughfully try it. I need to watch the video to get more information on his use. I think from what I have tried up to now, that it will help me a lot.
