ashtanga yoga Sirsasana and nose bleed...

[Guest guest]

Miguel,

 

I have been doing Ashstanga for almost a year and it seems to me

that you perhaps may need to check with your doctor to see if

you are hypertensive. What you are describing are the symptoms

of elevated blood pressure. All inverted postures in yoga

elevate your blood pressure. If you are hypertensive, then it

is not reccommended that you perform these asanas. Since I am

beginning to get into reasonably good shape, I have been

exploring ways to do the inverted postures and I have found by

getting into the corpse and doing a modified breathing exercise

I have been able to lower my BP, but not rapidly.

Hi!

 

So I woke up today and measured my blood pressure, and as I expected

it was kinda low, but still withing the healthy range, I beliece:

96/58 and 49bpm.

 

I gave a bit of thought to this and what I believe could be the

reason for my discomfort and nose bleed is that, as I was in

sirsasana, my veins enlarged, and so I ruptured a vein in my nose

(they are very sensitive). As for my light headedness and weakness

for a short while, I believe it was due to the after exercise, where

the heart returned to normal but the veins were still large, so the

blood evacuated too fast from the brain, thus causinga short supply

of nutrients/oxygen to the brain.

 

Please comment on this and if you can, tell me some solutions to the

problem!

 

Thank you!

Hello Miguel

 

I am practicing Yoga for ten years.

Before YOga my nose would just bleed out of nothing. I was a bit

aprehensive on doing a head stand I was afraid it would bleed.

I practicy my Yoga routine that was not ashtanga but the headstand

and shoulder stand would be in the routine and after a while my nose

bleeding problem. My guess is that by doing sirsasana it strngthen

the blood vessel around the nose. I would guess that if you keep

doing the head stand the bleeding would disapear but you are the one

to tell if the pose is approprite.

Namaste

Hi Reinaldo!

 

After sirsasana, in the beginning, did you bleed, and continue doing

it?

 

How long did it take for the bleeding to disappear?

 

Thanx
