about blood pressure 3
5
Remember that only the physician can interpret your blood pressure values. Never venture self-
diagnosis or self-treatment. We recommend you to discuss your blood pressure values with your
physician. He can advise you on any measures that may be good to take.
The blood pressure is
changing constantly. You
should not be frustrated by
two or three bad readings,
and don’t fly into high spirits
if a few readings are good.
The blood pressure changes
during the day as during the
month. It is also influenced by
the time of year and the
temperature. Monitor your
blood pressure regularly and
keep a full record of all
readings. This allows you to
make a competent judgment.
