Abstract
Background: The demanding nature of medical education significantly increases stress levels among students, negatively impacting their overall well-being. Pranayama, a yogic breathing technique, shows promise in mitigating these adverse effects. This study investigates the immediate impact of Anulom Vilom pranayama on cardiovascular parameters in medical students.

Aims and Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the immediate impact of Anulom Vilom pranayama on heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in undergraduate medical students.

Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted involving 122 medical students aged 18–21 years, following approval from the institutional scientific and ethical committee. Cardiovascular parameters were measured before and after administering a 10-min Anulom Vilom pranayama session using a pulse oximeter and digital blood pressure instruments. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests.

Results: The results showed significant reductions in HR (P < 0.00001), SBP (P < 0.00001), and rate pressure product (P < 0.00001) after practicing Pranayama. However, DBP changes were insignificant (P = 0.7822).

Conclusion: Anulom Vilom pranayama has an immediate beneficial effect on cardiovascular health in medical students. Incorporating such practices into medical education curricula may improve students’ well-being and academic performance.

Key words: Pranayama; Anulom-Vilom; Alternate Nostril Breathing; Heart Rate; Effect on Blood Pressure
