It's been my experience that if you sit quietly and take your blood pressure every few minutes it will continuously go down.
This is beyond that.
Take your blood pressure after sitting with no movement for five minutes. That should be your natural, immediate, low. Then do the additional breathing or such and see where it goes after 10-20 minute of that.
For the purposes of this study, that is what was measured.
That has happened to me many times. Sadly, a few years ago I couldn’t get it back down enough so they put me on low dose Rx. I never smoked or drank alcohol but am overweight and subject to anger and very subject to stress. Bp has been kept okay with the drug. Although I hate taking prescriptions.
I was told around 1990 “You have labile blood pressure” by the MD after I made it go down while he waited. I felt like David Carradine on the Kung Fu series. It wasn’t wildly swinging but was a little high, then normal.
Here is a little Google stuff.
