Even with normal blood pressure values, a regular self-check with your blood pressure monitor is recom- 
mended. 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 independently alter drug 
doses prescribed by your doctor.

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

Range               Systolic           Diastolic           Recommendations

☞ 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)
