Yoga to help lower blood pressure

You've probably heard of high blood pressure (hypertension), a common condition that affects the way your blood flows through the arteries in your body from the left side of your heart. A less common type of high blood pressure, called pulmonary hypertension, affects only the arteries in the lungs and the right side of your heart.

You can start lowering your blood pressure & reducing stress with the benefits of yoga.   These can range from yoga, meditation and biofeedback to warm baths, music or a good book. Try to allow at least 30 minutes a day for an activity you find relaxing. Many people with Pulmonary Hypertension find that simply reducing stress can greatly improve the quality of their lives.  Start lowering your blood pressure today with yoga.     Staff-Mayo Clinic
