Customer Reviews of RESPeRATE Blood Pressure Lowering Device
Customer Review: I would imagine that even children over the age of six or so would like using one.
Summary: 4 Stars
First, let me say that I am not a company representative for this device. I had the opportunity to use one two years ago. A sample of the RESPeRATE was given to the internal medicine practice where I worked at the time.
It is fairly easy to use. It is pleasant-and effective-when one is RECEPTIVE to what the device is supposed to do. A patient really has to make a concerted and consistent effort in using the machine for measurable results. Big expense, but you'll spend the same on a year of copays for your prescription drug. If it can be purchased via your health care flexible spending account and it's about the end of the year, go for it!
Even if you don't have high blood pressure, it's excellent for relaxation right before bed, or just plain stress management. I would imagine that even children over the age of six or so would like using one.
Customer Review: 2nd I started at 10 and went to 3.
Summary: 4 Stars
Basically a relaxation feedback device. I started with a breathing rate of 18/minute, over the first session I lowered that to 4/minute. 2nd I started at 10 and went to 3. I'm hovering about there now while on the machine. Not sure what it's doing for my blood pressure yet but it's certainly relaxing.Customer Review: Probably...
Summary: 3 Stars
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.Customer Review: Well here is the proof...
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this device because I am 36 years old with a blood pressure reading of 150/85. The first attempt was a little difficult for me as I kept trying to keep my breathing in sync with the machine. Sometimes I would inhale too fast or exhale too fast but quickly caught on as to how to use it before my first session ended.
By the time I get my breaths down to 4.0 a minute I get very sleepy and relaxed. You are supposed to use this once a day for 10-15 minutes but I use it twice. I use it when I get home from work to take away the stress and then before bed which puts me right to sleep.
I noticed by several of the reviewer's here who only gave this device one or two stars. Two of you have never even tried it and gave your silly replies based on your intellectual perception. One of you claimed that it was too tedious to use. It does not take too make thought to place a strap around your waist where your stomach rises and falls in order for the machine to recognize your breathing patterns. If you have placed the belt on improperly then the device will tell you what the problem is and will tell you how to fix it. The machine will tell you when to inhale and when to exhale. You will listen to the music which will change its tone so that you will be able to follow your breathing pattern with it even if your eyes are closed. Does that sound too difficult or tedious to you? If so, then forget the breathing exercises all together for there will be nothing out there that you will find to be less tedious. I tried yoga, tai-chi and struggled for a while with focusing on my breathing and the exercises that I had to do at the same time. This device is so simple that a 5 year old can follow it.
There was one guy that seemed skeptical about it requiring scientific evidence. Wow! Well here is the proof, I went from a blood pressure reading of 150/85 to 120/60 in a short period of time. If you have an electronic blood pressure machine at home then take your blood pressure reading the second after you finish using this device. Today, I took my BP reading the second my session with the machine ended and had a blood pressure reading of 110/55 with a pulse of 55. I have to make a doctor's appointment to see if I should lower or come off my BP medicine since it has dropped so much so quickly. I haven't had a BP over 140 for a while now. Yes, I did make some changes in my diet which certainly added to the benefit of this machine.
Give this device a try. You will have the same thoughts that I did at first: "How can this 10 minute breathing exercise lower my blood pressure consistently?" Just try it and after about a week you will find yourself feeling more relaxed than ever. You will find yourself wanting to use this machine because after 5 minutes of using it you will be feeling absolute relaxation. The first couple of times I felt relaxed but the more that I used it the stronger the feelings of relaxation became.
Try it!!
Customer Review: Frankly...
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, this isn't going to be too long or technical. I used to have high blood pressure into the dangerous levels, my doctor (former) put my on meds that he mentioned "may cause some depression," well, it did that and more because for the first time in my life I considered suicide, the side effects were that bad. Well, I searched on the net like a demon trying to find something to help me, I got this and it did big time. After a few months of using this, plus using a tredmill every other day returned my blood pressure to normal. When I showed my daily record charts for months of testing my doc could not believe it, but he took my blood pressure and got to see it for himself. Frankly, I doubt he'll tell his patients about it. You know, he and other docs receive all expense paid vacations from the pharmacuetical companies and other benefits. Heal thyself.
