Blood pressure values must lie within certain normal ranges in order to prevent particu-
lar diseases.
2.2. Which values are normal?
Blood pressure is too high if your diastolic pressure is above 100 mmHg and/or your
systolic blood pressure is over 160 mmHg,
while at rest . In this case, please consult
your physician immediately. Long-term values at this level endanger your health due to
continual damage to the blood vessels in your body.
If your systolic blood pressure values are between 140 mmHg and 159 mmHg and/or
the diastolic blood pressure values are between 90 mmHg and 99 mmHg, consult your
physician. Regular self-checks are necessary.
If you have blood pressure values that are too low (i.e., systolic values under 105
mmHg and/or diastolic values under 60 mmHg), consult your physician.
Even with normal blood pressure values, a regular self-check with your blood pressure
monitor is recommended. You can detect possible changes in your values early and
react appropriately.
If you are undergoing medical treatment to control your blood pressure, keep a record
of values along with time of day and date. Show these values to your physician.
Never use the results of your measurements to independently alter the drug
doses prescribed by your physician.
Which values are normal?
