World Hypertension Day: How We Manage Asthma, BP & Mental Health Togethe

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Issue #4

This World Hypertension Day, we’re reflecting on a challenge many in our community quietly live with:

Managing both asthma and high blood pressure, while navigating work, stress, urban life and the emotional weight that comes with it.

These aren’t just medical conditions, they are lifestyle challenges that impact how we work, breathe, and show up every day.

This past week, we’ve published a series of blogs that explore this intersection from different angles, and we’ve released a special podcast episode to bring it all together.

✅ What We’ve Covered This Week:

1️⃣ The Link Between Asthma and Hypertension​

In this episode, we explore how these conditions overlap, with personal stories, practical tips, and insights that might help you or someone you love.

🌿 Tip of the Week:

Feeling overwhelmed? Try Box Breathing:

Inhale for 4 seconds → Hold for 4 → Exhale for 4 → Hold for 4
Do this 3–4 times. It’s a simple technique that supports both your breath and blood pressure.
