Using Resperate and with other changes, my blood pressure is now lower at age 62 than it's ever been in my life. The other changes are lowering sodium intake and doing high intensity interval training every 3 days.

I have normally had low blood pressure, but in the last several years, began finding that my blood pressure would go much higher when I'd been out to eat, ie had too much salt to eat.

I'm a woman in my early 60's. My blood pressure was in the high 140's to 150's.
Although it wasn't terrible, it was higher than my doctor wanted it to be. She was planning to put me on medication to control it but I suggested I give RESPeRATE a try first.

I did all the life style things, like lose weight, reduce salt, stop caffeine but the BP was back up to 170/110 and sometimes higher. So I started it [RESPeRATE] at the end of May, and after about 3-4 weeks I started to get BP readings in the 120/87.
