Even with normal blood-pressure values, a regular self-check with your blood-pressure monitor is

recommended. In this way you can detect possible changes in your values early and react appropriately.

If you are undergoing medical treatment to control your blood pressure, please keep a record of the level of

your blood pressure by carrying out regular self-measurements at speciﬁc times of the day. Show these

values to your doctor. Never use the results of your measurements to alter independently the drug

does prescribed by your doctor.

Table for classifying blood-pressure values (units mmHg) according to World Health Organization:

Range Systolic Diastolic Measures

Blood-pressure Blood-pressure

Hypotension lower than 100 lower than 60 Check with your doctor

Normal range between 100 and 140 between 60 and 90 Self-check

Mild hypertension between 140 and 160 between 90 and 100 Consult your doctor

Moderately serious between 160 and 180 between 100 and 110 Consult your doctor

hypertension

Serious hypertension higher than 180 higher than 110 Consult your doctor

immediately

☞ Further information

• If your values are mostly standard under resting conditions but exceptionally high under conditions of

physical or psychological stress, it is possible that you are suffering from so-called «labile

hypertension». Please consult your doctor if you suspect that this might be the case.

• Correctly measured diastolic blood-pressure values above 120 mmHg require immediate medical

treatment.

2.3. What can be done, if regular increased/low values are obtained?

a) Please consult your doctor.

b) Increased blood-pressure values (various forms of hypertension) are associated long- and medium term

with considerable risks to health. This concerns the arterial blood vessels of your body, which are

endangered due to constriction caused by deposits in the vessel walls (Arteriosclerosis). A deﬁcient

supply of blood to important organs (heart, brain, muscles) can be the result. Furthermore, with long-

term continuously increased blood-pressure values, the heart will become structurally damaged.

c) There are many different causes of the appearance of high blood pressure. We differentiate between

the common primary (essential) hypertension, and secondary hypertension. The latter group can be

ascribed to speciﬁc organic malfunctions. Please consult your doctor for information about the possible

origins of your own increased blood pressure values.

d) There are measures which you can take, not only for reducing a medically established high blood

pressure, but also for prevention. These measures are part of your general way of life:

A) Eating habits

• Strive for a normal weight corresponding to your age. Reduce overweight!

• Avoid excessive consumption of common salt.

• Avoid fatty foods.
