Further information

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

ditions 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.
