Effects of Resonant Breathing on Blood Pressure, Heart Rate and Perceived Stress
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
Hypertension remains a significant global health challenge, often requiring lifelong management. While pharmacological treatments are standard, there is increasing interest in non-pharmacological interventions like resonant breathing. This technique, characterized by slow, rhythmic breathing at 4.5-7 breaths per minute, is thought to lower blood pressure by enhancing parasympathetic activity and restoring autonomic balance.

Resonant breathing
Resonant breathing, or Coherent Breathing, is a slow, rhythmic technique focusing on equal inhales and exhales (often 5-6 seconds each) to calm the nervous system, improve heart rate variability (HRV), and reduce stress by aligning breath with heart rhythms.
