Should the systolic blood-pressure values lie between 140mmHg and 160mmHg and/or the diastolic blood-
pressure values lie between 90mmHg and 100mmHg, consult your doctor. Regular self-checks will be
necessary.
When blood-pressure values are too low, i.e. systolic values under 100mmHg and/or diastolic values under
60mmHg, consult your doctor.
Even with normal blood-pressure values, a regular self-check with your blood-pressure monitor is
recommended. 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
Blood Pressure Blood Pressure
Hypotension lower than 100 lower than 60 Check with your doctor
Normal range between 100 and 140 between 60 and 90 Self-check
Mild hypertension between 140 and 160 between 90 and 100 Consult your doctor
Moderate hypertension between 160 and 180 between 100 and 110 Consult your doctor
Serious hypertension higher than 180 higher than 110 Urgent! See your doctor.
Specific systolic higher than 140 lower than 90 Consult 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 120mmHg 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 malfunctions. 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:
