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 independently alter drug

doses prescribed by your doctor.

Further information

•

If your values are mostly «normal» 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». In any case, please discuss the values with your doctor.

•

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) over time are associated with conside-
rable risks to health. Blood vessels in your body are endangered due to constriction caused by deposits
in the vessel walls (Arteriosclerosis). This can result in a deficient supply of blood to important organs
(heart, brain, muscles). Additionally, the heart will become structurally damaged.

c)

There are many different causes of high blood pressure. We differentiate between the common primary
(essential) hypertension, and secondary hypertension. Secondary hypertension can cause organ malfunc-
tions. Please consult your doctor for information about the possible origins of your own increased blood
pressure values.

d)

There are lifestyle changes you can make to prevent and reduce high blood pressure. These measures
must be part of a healthy lifestyle and include: 

A) Eating habits

•

Maintain a normal weight as prescribed by your doctor.

•

Avoid excessive consumption of common salt. Please note many «packaged foods» contain high levels
of salt.

•

Avoid fatty foods. (Packaged foods are frequently high in fats) 

B) Previous illnesses

Consistently follow any medical instructions for treating previous illness such as:
•

Diabetes (Diabetes mellitus or sugar diabetes)

•

Fat metabolism disorder

•

Gout
