Blood Pressure

My husband has had issues with fluctuating BP and irregular heart beat so the doctor gave him an electronic BP monitor for a week to record what is going on..... Needless to say it has become the favourite toy of the moment at our house.

So I had to check out the effect of inverting on BP. I took my BP before inverting. It was a pretty normal reading for me. Then I took it again whilst actually inverted. It went down 20 points. And my pulse (which is usually kind of high) also went down 20 points. Hubby said that is should be lower inverted, probably something to do with gravity. But then I took it again a little while after inverting, and it still remained lower than it did before inverting, and my pulse had definitely lowered.

I believe it is because of the relaxing affect of inverting and also because you tend to breath deeper whilst inverted.



Oh and BTW, for anyone following my hair issues, the falling has slowed right down, almost stopped. Tweet
