High blood pressure (BP), also dubbed Hypertension usually causes no major noticeable symptoms. However it can lead to serious ailments with several of body parts extremely vulnerable to it. Heart and blood vessels are especially at risk and an individual with high blood pressure may occasionally develop a stroke or heart attack. Normally, when the blood pressure is very high, a person may experience headaches, dizziness or alterations in vision.  Few other high blood pressure symptoms are: Giddiness, vision changes, crushing chest pain, blood in urine, irregular heartbeat, ear noise (also called buzzing) and nosebleed.

High BP is associated with numerous risks. Hypertension is one of the main causal factors in stress to the kidneys. Not only does it lead to an increased chance of a stroke, hypertension can result in the hardening of the arteries, a condition called atherosclerosis, which makes it easier for blood clots to form in narrowed pathways. It increases the risk of heart failure, a gradual process in which the heart begins to work less efficiently. A second type of hypertension called secondary hypertension may spur some potentially fatal ailments like adrenal gland tumors, inflammation of kidneys, renal vascular narrowing, renal failure, periarteritis nodosa and Wilms' tumor.

Most experts are of the view that the risks of hypertension are varied and quite serious. In many cases, high blood pressure can be controlled by changes in diet and exercise. There are several clinically proven non-drug devices like RESPeRATE that stop high blood pressure. RESPeRATE can be used for just 15 minutes and few times in a week. The device has been designed to relax constricted blood vessels, which in turn reduces high blood pressure. RESPeRATE comes with a specially made breathing sensor that automatically analyzes your individual breathing pattern and creates a personalized melody composed of two distinct inhale and exhale guiding tones.

RESPeRATE works on a simple technique. An individual with high blood pressure is advised to put on the headphones and listen to the melody. The body’s natural tendency to follow external rhythms enables him to easily synchronize breathing to the therapeutic zone of less than 10 breaths per minute. In a matter of a few minutes, the muscles surrounding the small blood vessels in the body relax, blood flows more freely, and blood pressure is significantly reduced. Continued use of RESPeRATE has been known to greatly reduce high BP within a span of 3 to 4 weeks.
