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.” Consult your doctor.

Correctly measured diastolic blood pressure values above 120mmHg and
require immediate medical treatment.

2.3. What can be done if regular high or low values are obtained?

a) Consult your doctor.

b) Increased blood pressure values (various forms of hypertension) are associated with

considerable health risks over time. Arterial blood vessels in your body 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 result from arterioscle-
rosis. Furthermore, the heart will become structurally damaged with increased blood
pressure values.

c) There are many different causes of high blood pressure. We differentiate between the

common primary (essential) hypertension, and secondary hypertension. The latter
group can be ascribed to specific organ 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 to reduce and even prevent high blood pres-

sure. These measures must be permanent lifestyle changes.

A) Eating habits

• Strive for a normal weight corresponding to your age. See your doctor for your ideal

weight.

• Avoid excessive consumption of common salt.
• Avoid fatty foods.

B) Previous illnesses

• Consistently follow all medical instructions for treating illness such as:

• Diabetes (Diabetes mellitus or sugar diabetes)
• Fat metabolism disorder
• Gout

C)  Habits

• Give up smoking completely.
• Drink only moderate amounts of  alcohol.
• Restrict your caffeine consumption (coffee, tea, chocolate).
