How do I know if I have high blood pressure?
If you've ever been diagnosed with high, or borderline high blood pressure, you should own a blood pressure monitor. One big problem with high blood pressure, or hypertension, is that the symptoms may go unnoticed until it causes a stroke or heart attack. Severe hypertension can sometimes cause headache, sleepiness, confusion, heart palpitations, coma, blurred vision, or lack of sexual desire. It’s a good idea to have regular check-ups with your doctor, especially if you’re over 40. But owning a monitor and taking your blood pressure often will raise your awareness of high blood pressure and help you keep it under control.

What is the normal range for blood pressure?
The normal range of blood pressure is 120(systolic)/80(diastolic) or lower, although a reading will fluctuate throughout the day depending on such things as activity levels, body position, emotions, pain, food, alcohol and stress.

Why should I practice deep breathing?
Shallow breathing leaves a large amount of air in the lungs that has a low level of oxygen and a high level of carbon dioxide. By depriving the body of oxygen, the heart will automatically compensate by pumping more blood. This action produces higher blood pressure. Studies have shown that deep breathing for as little as 15 minutes a day, helps lower blood pressure.

Should I continue my high blood pressure medication while doing this program?
Yes! Never stop your medication without instructions from your physician.

Do I need any special computer equipment or software to use your product?
No. Most computers with an Internet connection have everything needed to participate. If you have a computer with an Internet connection and a browser with Flash, you’re all set. We’ll make sure your computer is properly configured to run the Breathing Coach.

What is included in the signup cost?
When you create an account, you’ll have access to the Breathing Coach, our Progress Tracker database and our reminder e-mail program. Together these tools can help:
  • Remind you to follow the plan
  • You breathe correctly
  • You relax
  • Ensure you spend the right amount of time following the plan
  • By adjusting your training schedule if your progress is too slow
  • You feel better

When should I do this program?
You should plan to spend 15 minutes at least 4-5 day each week. We recommend you put an appointment onto your Outlook calendar on these days so no one will schedule your time for conference calls or meetings. Don’t schedule over your lunch hour as many people are inclined to start skipping days when they need to meet someone or run errands.

How do I sign up and how will I be billed?
Press “sign-up” then create a new account by entering your e-mail address and a password of your choosing. We will send you an account confirmation via e-mail. When you confirm your account you can start using the breathing engine immediately. There is no need to enter a credit card since there is a free 15 day trial. Just before the two week trial is up, we’ll send you a note to remind you that your account is about to expire. You may let your account expire, or you can select a service plan and enter your credit card at that time to extend your service. There are never any long term commitments. You only pay for the plan you sign up for.

What is the benefit of using the program instead of breathing on my own?
Research shows that with a system in place, participants are more inclined to actually remember to do it. It’s like a membership to a fitness center. You could exercise at home, but if you go through the process of signing up, you’ll have access to better tools and better incentives to actually follow the program. Besides, the Breathing Coach is enjoyable and relaxing and once you’ve tried it, we think you’ll stick with it.
