Q: Can yoga cure high BP without taking medicine?
A: Regular exercise, such as yoga, can help control blood pressure. Depending on how high the blood pressure, drugs may also be needed. Neither a regular exercise program nor medication is a cure for high blood pressure. Once you stop either one, high blood pressure will return.

Q: If using Resperate lowers the blood pressure of one of your patients, would you approve that patient to discontinue taking BP medication while on Resperate?
A: Using RESPeRATE alone to control blood pressure is a possibility. Many factors need to be considered by a doctor prior to attempting to wean a patient off blood pressure drugs. A person with mild hypertension and no other health problems being treated with a low dose diuretic would be the best candidate. Don’t stop taking medicine on your own. Talk to your doctor.

Q: Is ED [Erectile Dysfunction] caused from Hypertension or from the medication to control it?
A: Some high blood pressure medicines can cause sexual dysfunction. Talk to your doctor about your problem. If your erectile dysfunction began when you started taking medicine for high blood pressure, it could be drug related. Keep in mind, disease in the blood vessels to the penis is a frequent cause of erectile dysfunction. Untreated high blood pressure can damage the blood vessels of the penis.
