      Hey Doc! You showed us planks and stated a duration of 30 seconds - 2 minutes. I sometimes plank for up to 10 minutes at a time….will I get more benefit out of the longer duration, or not. I generally go longer as a discipline, but if it lowers BP even more, all the better! Thanks for the vid!

      Taking medicine since 15 year ago, and since 2 year I am doing plank 2 minute, squat 30 times and some other exercise and yoga,
      But I am afraid to say none of yoga and exercise work
      So I doubt
      My systolic pressure is sometime 180/160
      And dilostic is 90/85
      Does room jugging and meditation , breathing lower pressure?

      No worries just reduce salt intake
      And switch to fruits like banana and apple
      And vegetables like spinach, potatoes
      And 30 mint exercise
      And don't check BP regularly
      I am also 30 yrs old
      Same condition like u
      One doctor told me take medicine but he was dull and ignorant
      Then I visited another doctor
      He told me don't take medicine
      Just be stress free and do exercise
      Take less salt

      Been a vegan for more than 10 years, I exercise daily, I'm a disabled veteran, no one else in my family has high BP problems. I've had some horrible experiences in the V.A. so now when I go see the doctor my BP goes instantly up to 202/98 which makes them give an EKG and a nitro pill that triggers my migraines. EKG always comes back as negative to anything wrong with my heart. The doctor now has me taking three different types, I've developed kidney problems because of it and neuropathy. The only oils I use to cook with is EVOO from a good source and coconut oil from a good source. Cut out sugars and processed foods, since I left the military back 2010. The only time my BP goes up is when even a video chat will cause it. They've tried all sorts of tests, so they said that I'm going to have a stroke one day, if we don't figure out the right meds for me to take . I'm tired of taking meds. ❤
