When I was treating my hypertension, I found through practice that small measurement mistakes can produce surprisingly large errors. I was lucky because several doctors pointed these mistakes to me. They become a part of the blood pressure measurement routine which I strongly recommend to my friends and family.

I fixed my Stage 1 hypertension within a year without medication. What worked for me was not one miracle technique, but a repeatable combination of regular BP tracking, exercise, slow breathing, stress reduction and healthier eating. My experience later became the foundation for BreathNow. This is my personal story—not a recommendation to stop or avoid prescribed medication. Hypertension treatment depends on your BP level, cardiovascular risk and medical history.
