With blood-pressure values that are too low, i.e. systolic values under 105 mmHg and/or diastolic values 
under 60 mmHg, likewise, please consult your doctor.

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

doses prescribed by your doctor.

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 hyper
tension». 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 def-
cient 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 possi-
ble 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.
