I’m convicted that you can lower your blood pressure this way. After a traumatic facial injury, requiring quite a few surgeries, I decided to be as calm as possible every time I was rolled into the operating room. All through controlled, counted, focused breathing. To the point where the (same) anesthesiologist asked me if I never got nervous as he was surprised how low my blood pressure was . :) It was an internal game, seeing if I could lower it more for every surgery.

Adding progressive muscle relaxation (flexing each major muscle group, holding while breathing, and relaxing), works great. Doing this once every hour or half hour is quite helpful. For me, anyways.

I've actually done breathing exercises to lower my blood pressure and it works very well!
I continue to have high blood pressure whenever I'm in a doctor's office. I have White Coat Syndrome and I've had it for decades!
Now when I go to the doctor, I do breathing exercises to get my blood pressure down. It helps some but it's still considered high. But the doctor can see the difference from last time I was there.
As old as I am, I've had a normal blood pressure reading only a couple of times when I saw a doctor.😢 It's sad since I've seen most of them for a number of years.
What's even worse is I used to work for doctors and even seeing them as a patient spiked my blood pressure!
What they need to do is let me start taking my own blood pressure before I walk into the building.
However, I now ask them to take my blood pressure after I've seen the doctor. Usually it's much lower!😁
Several times I've taken my blood pressure at home and kept a two week log of my readings. Then I take the log to the doctor along with my machine, which is compared to the machine in the doctor's office. The readings are the same so they know the log is accurate. I've done this for several doctors, thus being diagnosed with White Coat Syndrome!
But I still do the breathing exercises before I see the doctor.

I have always been in charge if my own health, but also collaborated with excellent medically knowledgeable doctors like you two! For several years now, since my doc retired, I have been receiving what I call "lowest common denominator" care and some very bad things have happened. No more collaborating- now I have to be on top of Everything to an insane degree. It's very frustrating and I sure wish I could find a primary again who would give me the medical knowledge to work with.

Biofeed back can help too. Thanks for the info.

I did this in N. Fulton Wellstar at night because of b.p. issues after hip replacement. I have always suffered white coat syndrome and I was in the mother hive of white coats, but my b.p. is good at home on medication. Tried the lower breathing, but it always set off one of the alarms attached to me, probably warning that I was dying. Had to wait for the floor attendant to come and turn off. They would take my b.p. and tell me to lower my breathing. Rinse and repeat!😂. This went on maybe a dozen times in 3 nights until someone came in and disconnected the alarm completely. Kind of a Catch-22. The exercises do work, but don't be hooked up to machines that count your breaths.

I'm not sure if I'll ever overcome white coat hypertension but I do these things before they rush me into a room from the waiting room.

1.arrive early to the appointment
2. Bring a mask in case someone is coughing in the waiting room
3. Relax. Even close your eyes to reduce stimuli
4. Don't look at the phone
5. Breath slower
6. Caffeine will raise BP so none before

Running late or some beforehand road rage is bad

Breathing through the nose starts off nitric oxide production that's why.
