Microlife BP 3BEO-4 [7/50] What can be done if regular increased low values are obtained

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.
B) Previous illnesses
Follow consistently any medical instructions for treating previous illness such as:
Diabetes (Diabetes mellitus)
Fat metabolism disorder
Gout
C) Habits
Give up smoking completely
Drink only moderate amounts of alcohol
Restrict your caffeine consumption (Coffee)
D) Physical constitution:
After a preliminary medical examination, do regular sport.
Choose sports which require stamina and avoid those which require strength.
Avoid reaching the limit of your performance.
With previous illnesses and/or an age of over 40 years, please consult your doctor before
beginning your sporting activities. He will advise you regarding the type and extent of types
of sport that are possible for you.
