Do different types of music affect your blood pressure?

Answer 1

• Music has been found to "tame the savage beast" so why not lowering blood pressure or stress in general! Some individuals may prefer soft and calming music while others may find that heavy metal; rock; soft rock, etc., soothes them. The individual has to find what is the most soothing to them and then yes, music has scientifically been proven to lower blood pressure.

Answer 2

Recent research suggests slow music influences a person's relaxation, and that musical pauses modulate heart rhythms (in a good way). The study was published in "Heart," a British Medical Journal publication, and used a variety of musical genres, from techno to raga to classical. The researchers found that music with faster tempos resulted in increased ventilation, heart rate, and blood pressure. When the music was paused, ventilation, heart rate, and blood pressure decreased, sometimes below the beginning rate. Slower music caused declines in heart rate, with raga music influencing the largest decline. Overall, researchers agreed that the style of music wasn't as important as its pace. Music has also been shown to reduce stress, benefit athletic performance, and enhance motor function in people with neurological impairments. So turn up the volume and chill out.

Answer 3

Several studies in the last decades tackled the question whether and how hearing music affects your heart rate. Ellis and Brighouse (1952) said that Jazz Music increased slightly the heart rate. Dainow(1977) said that fast music increases the heart rate slightly while slow music decreases it slightly. Surveys he cites claim that any type of music increases the heart rate, probably because of its emotional effect. Iwanga, Kobaiashy and Kawasaki (2005) say that excitative music makes the heart go faster. Please see the links for details.

Answer 4

music effects your heart rate by the tempo of the song. if it is a fast song you are likely to have a faster heart rate than your resting heart rate. Also, your heart rate is likely to be faster if it is a fast tempo song AND you happen to enjoy the song.

Answer 7

yes the more calm music you listen to your blood pressure is healthy, and if you listen to loud or fast music your heart will start pumping hard.

Answer 8

Usually slow music makes your blood pressure slow down and fast music makes your diastolic blood pressure go up but the systolic go down so it's going up.

Answer 9

Anything soft and soothing can lower your blood pressure a bit - it's not going to cure high blood pressure, but it will relax you and keep you from being stressed out.
