Treatment for hypertension includes lifestyle modifications and drug therapy. Since the antihypertensive drugs have many side effects and non- compliance. There is need to use some alternative treatment to manage hypertension.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">AIM: Present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of abdominal breathing exercise on blood pressure among hypertensive patients.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">MATERIALS AND METHODS: Quasi-experimental with two group pre and post test design was used. Sixty primary hypertensive subjects were selected (30 subjects each in experimental and control group). Experimental group had done abdominal breathing exercise twice a day for continuous 10 days. The socio-demographic and clinical data of the patient was collected through interview schedule. Sphygmomanometer and Stethoscope were used to assess the blood pressure. Descriptive statistics, t test and ANOVA were used to analyze the data.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">RESULTS: There was significant reduction in blood pressure in experimental group (p = 0.00). The study showed that there was significant association between blood pressure and age of hypertensive patients.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">CONCLUSION: Abdominal breathing exercise is an effective complementary therapy in reducing blood pressure among hypertensive patients.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Keywords: Blood Pressure, Hypertension, Abdominal Breathing Exercise<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/npaa.in\/journal-ijta\/admin\/ufile\/1438602238IJTA_24_39-49.pdf\">PDF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kaur Amandeep, Maheshwari Preksha S., Soin Divya ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Hypertension is reported to be the fourth reason of early death &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-359","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-12","category-volume-24"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/npaa.in\/journal-ijta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/npaa.in\/journal-ijta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/npaa.in\/journal-ijta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/npaa.in\/journal-ijta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/npaa.in\/journal-ijta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=359"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/npaa.in\/journal-ijta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1036,"href":"https:\/\/npaa.in\/journal-ijta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359\/revisions\/1036"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/npaa.in\/journal-ijta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=359"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/npaa.in\/journal-ijta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=359"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/npaa.in\/journal-ijta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=359"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
