Summary

This study has two parts. First, it looks at genes that might be linked to high blood pressure in Thai people. Second, it tests whether a specific breathing pattern called 4-7-8 (inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, exhale for 8) can help lower blood pressure. About 200 adults with hypertension will practice this breathing twice daily for 3 months. The goal is to see if this simple technique can be an effective, non-drug way to manage blood pressure.
