2.3. What can be done if regular high/low values are obtained?
a) Consult your physician.
b) Increased blood pressure values (various forms of hypertension) are
associated with considerable health risks over time. Arterial blood ves-
sels in your body are endangered due to constrictions caused by
deposits in the vessel walls (arteriosclerosis). A deficient supply of
blood to important organs (heart, brain, muscles) can result. Further-
more, the heart will become structurally damaged with increased
blood pressure values.
c) There are many different causes of high blood pressure. We differenti-
ate between the common primary (essential) hypertension and sec-
ondary hypertension. Secondary hypertension can be ascribed to spe-
cific organ malfunctions. Please consult your physician for information
about the possible origins of your own increased blood pressure values.
d) There are measures you can take to reduce and even prevent high
blood pressure. These measures must be permanent lifestyle changes.
1) Eating habits
• Strive for a normal weight corresponding to your age. See your doctor
for your ideal weight.
• Avoid excessive consumption of common salt.
