STUDI KASUS PENURUNAN TEKANAN DARAH PADA PASIEN HIPERTENSI DENGAN TEKNIK RELAKSASI NAPAS DALAM DI TATANAN KELUARGA

Hypertension is a condition when a person experiences an increase in blood pressure above normal or an abnormal increase continuously for more than one period. Hypertension often occurs at the age of more than 30 years. Hypertension can occur due to several factors, one of which is a stress.

At the time of study, the results of the blood pressure were 160/90 mmHg, then after being managed for 3 times the final result was 130/80 mmHg. So it can use be concluded that there is an effect of decsreasing blood pressure in hypertension patients with deep breathing relaxation techniques
