Does an inhale or exhale lower blood pressure?

Answer by  tamarawilhite (17883)

Inhaling and exhaling do not alter your blood pressure. When you hold your breath, however, your blood pressure will rise.

Inhaling or exhaling with or without force does not alter blood pressure. Forceful inhalation can slightly compress heart physically but it does not cause effect on blood pressure.

An increase in carbon dioxide IS negative emotions an inborn stress. If we were suffocatr,our bodies to respond the fight reflex. Think that response the quality of our breath!

A single inhalation or exhalation should not effect your blood pressure. A sustained lack of breathing will initially increase your BP as your body attempts to purge excessive CO2 causing your heart to beat faster. If deprived of air long enough it's fatal, ultimately lowering your blood pressure.
