Excellent Product ... 1 Thing to watch out for [Posted on 2008-03-23]
This is an excellent product that I've been using for 15 months. I use Resperate several times a day. My blood pressure was rising, typically reading around 135/90. Resperate alone brought that down to a normal level. Since then I've improved my exercise program, diet, and added dark chocolate drinks (that's pure cocoa and hot water). My normal blood pressure now is usually around 115/75.
Here's a prescription that can't hurt you. Use Resperate, stretch, watch your favorite comedy show while sipping a half a glass of red wine (or relaxing beverage of choice). Use Resperate and stretch again. In doing so I've seen my blood pressure drop to ridiculously low levels like 100/62.
Ok, here's the gottcha. I don't recommend ever letting your breathing rate drop below 4.5 breaths per minute (will vary per individual), especially right before bed (the manufacturer suggests never dropping below 5 BPM). I've experienced sleep apnea after doing so (which I've never experienced any other time). It's a temporary thing and only an annoyance, but easily avoided. If you do like to use Resperate right before bed, be sure to maintain a high enough breathing rate for you or work in 5 minutes of stretching or some light activity (even brushing your teeth) before you actually go to sleep. I've never heard of anyone else having this problem so I could be unique.

The product did help lower my blood pressure but when I told my doctor he didnt want me using it because I have an irregular heartbeat.
Not worth the money - higher tech snake oil [Posted on 2008-04-26]
Doesn't work any miracles, but it provides a nice, soothing break. Allow me to save you a couple hundred dollars: learn to count your breaths--breathe in to 4-6 beats. Exhale for 10-15 seconds. Do this for 20 minutes and it can lower your blood pressure maybe 10 points (on top). But drop it below 120/80? I haven't experienced that.

If you use it each day... 15 minutes... your blood pressure will lower. Unless you experience it yourself, it may be hard to believe.
Good, but not good enough [Posted on 2008-07-28]
This may look like a great invention; it may have helped many, but I just can't see anything in it that is worth the price tag. There is nothing that this device can give you a 15-minute yoga session can't give. And, if you are too lazy to do yoga for 15 minutes, chances are that you are too lazy to use this device for 15 minutes. The price tag may force you to use it for 30 days, but after that you are stuck with it and it will probably end up under the bed along with all other "easy-storage" gadgets.
Negativity apart, it is actually a great invention. It does a good job in sensing your breathing pattern and forces you to stick to a pattern for 15 minutes after which it shuts off by itself. It guides you through a pattern with ascending and descending soothing musical notes. It is quite relaxing and you will find yourself yawning by the end of the 15 minute session. But, again, it is too pricey for what it does and it is not anywhere nearly good as simple yoga.
