I am a 53 yr-old male in relatively good health but my blood pressure has always been borderline high. I have been using the resperate machine for almost 3 years now, and it has definitely lowered my blood pressure. It used to be 135-145 over 85-90. Now is runs about 125/80 sometimes lower. The one problem I have noticed is that I don't have the energy I use to have, and I don't think it is age. I eat pretty well and I have been walking about 20 miles per week for a number of years now, even before I started the resperate. The resperate just relaxes me so much that I now just move slower and do things slower than I use to. I'm never in a hurry anymore. I guess this is a good thing, but I use to be able to get so much done in a day. Now my mind is just like in a slower state of being. Has anyone else noticed anything like this?

I'm 54, and can relate. I no longer can work until 2:00 AM in the morning, and get up a six and go to work. Perhaps it this little thing called aging... and I hope also a certain set of maturity. Somehow, things that seemed so important before seem less so, in the big schemes of things. As my dad says, In a hundred years from now will it make a difference ? If not, probably not all that important to the universe.

Great to hear from someone that being using resperate for a long time. Did you get your drop in blood pressure all at the start, or has it just kept coming down?

Yep, the same here! Now I move and think in a more relaxed manner. At first I thought It was from age but after reading your post I guess it's from being more relaxed. I'm 55 years old and I believe I've been using resperate for over a year. Oh wait, I'll look at the date I became a member of this forum. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Ok, make that 8 months I've been using resperate. A wonderful machine and is great for everyone that needs to relax, not just those with high blood pressure.

Do you also take bp medicine like toprol this med will make you tired.

I've been using Resperate over 3 years. When I first started using it I kept a spread sheet for about 2 months. Recording my blood pressure 3 different times a day. I could definite see around 15 to 20 points improvement!

Hey guys, when I was early 50 I was as good man as I'd ever been. Back then I jogged 3 miles every day. I began to slow down in my 60's. Now days I fast wall 3 miles a day. I'm now 74 years young.

I don't take any blood pressure medication.

Been on warfarin for 18 years due to mechanical aortic heart valve.
