deficient supply of blood to important organs (heart, brain, muscles) can be the
result. Furthermore, with long-term increased blood pressure values, the heart will
become structurally damaged.
There are many different causes of the appearance of high blood pressure. We
differentiate between 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.
2.1 Normal Blood Pressure Values
Blood pressure is too high when measuring at home and you have rested, the
diastolic pressure is above 85 mmHg or the systolic blood pressure is over 135
mmHg. If you obtain readings in this range, consult your doctor immediately. High
blood pressure values over time can damage blood vessels, vital organs such as
the kidney, and your heart.
With blood pressure values that are too low (i.e., systolic values under 105 mmHg
or diastolic values under 60 mmHg), consult with your doctor.
