Product Reviews of RESPeRATE Ultra Blood Pressure Lowering Device, One User
Product Review: Think carefully before you buy it! Very pricey.
Summary: 3 Stars
I got mine for free: A white elephant from a friend who never used it. His thinking was: "Gee, if I spend that much money I just know I'll use it!" No. Before you plunk down your money, see if you have the discipline to set aside 10-20 minutes daily to sit quietly listening to a download from a meditation website or podcast. If you don't have that discipline, Resparate is pointless. Does it work if you do use it? So far, no affect on my BP. It does add some novelty to my stress reductions sessions, but not $300 worth. If I saw this thing on "The Price is Right" I'd value it as under $100. Or ask around-- maybe a friend will also give you one just to get the thing outta the house!Product Review: Was very skeptical, but seems to work
Summary: 4 Stars
After a life time of "white coat" hypertension, it appeared, as my doctors predicted it probably would, that my hypertension was starting to occur even under normal conditions. I was someone who checked my bp fairly regularly, and while I was still not in frightening high range, I was growing concerned. I am fairly fanatic about working out at the gym, but apparently that wasn't sufficient. I knew the hypertension drugs might be necessary but I saw the toll (including serious medical toll) they took on my father, so I wasn't anxious to take them unless that was the only recourse. So, I was willing to shell out $300 on a natural alternative, even though I was fairly convinced it would not work. I have to say to my shock it really does work. Now I was someone whose upper bp was up to ranging from 130-140s, and now it is generally in the low- mid 120s. I am 59. My lower is in the 60-75 range. I assume someone might be able to accomplish the slower breathing exercises without such an expensive machine, but I probably wouldn't have. It does figure out your breathing pattern, and develop a musical cue system that works with how you breathe. Also i have to say that at a result, at times when i feel like I'm starting to get too anxious about something, I just start slowing my breathing down to calm myself and my bp. I hesitate to give it 5 stars, since I would like to see how I do over a long term, but so far so good. I don't know if it's the answer for everyone, but I decided to write this review because I think there are people who it can actually help. Even though I was a doubting Thomas, my superficial research before I bought it showed that even the establishment medical authorities endorsed it.
