 | RESPeRATE Lower Blood Pressure, Without Side Effects: FDA-Cleared Medical Device |
 | "Incomplete" | 2009-08-27 |
I have not yet had this device long enough to comment on its effectiveness but have had problems with two features. The belt is poorly designed since one moment it tells me to tighten the belt and 15 second later to loosen the belt. If the belt is properly tightened at the start it should stay that way. Also sometimes when my breath starts out at a slow rate it gets too slow too fast afterward for me to properly sychronize. I just can't breathe in deep enough and slow enough at the lower rates <6 to properly synchronize

I guess this product may work a bit if your hypertension is caused by too rapid, too shallow breathing otherwise forget about it. The machine prompts you to inhale and exhale to musical tones until your breath rate reaches 10 breaths per second then it lowers your breath rate to the point that if you follow the cues your breath rate will get down to about 4 1/2 breaths per minute. The problem with this is the manual suggests not letting your rate fall below 5 breaths per minute so then why doesn't it stabilize around 6 breaths per minute? When I contacted customer service I NEVER got a response. This is a sure sign of a company selling a ripoff product. I've had it for a few months and it mostly had no effect on my blood pressure but what was worse is that on a few occasions I took my blood pressure before using the Resperate and after where my blood pressure was actually HIGHER afte using the product.

This thing is fun to use and it works. It puts the "Rabbit" to shame.

I just don't like ear buds and was thrilled to find these terrific sounding headphones. Only slight problem is in warm weather they get a little too sweaty but I highly recommend them
