2.2 Which values are normal?

Blood pressure is too high if at rest, your diastolic pressure is above 90mmHg and/or the systolic
blood pressure is over 160mmHg. You should bring these values to the attention of your
doctor immediately. Long-term values at this level endanger your health due to the
associated advancing damage to the blood vessels in your body.
Should the systolic blood pressure values lie between 140mmHg and 160mmHg
and/or the diastolic blood pressure values between 90mmHg and 95mmHg, please
consult your doctor, and check your blood pressure regularly.
With blood pressure values that are too low, i.e. systolic values under 105mmHg
and/or diastolic values under 60mmHg, please 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 appro-
priately, in consultation with your physician.
If you are undergoing medical treatment to control your blood pressure, please keep a record of
your blood pressure levels 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 dis-
continue or independently alter the drug doses prescribed by your doctor.
Table for classifying blood pressure values (units mmHG) according to World Health
Organization:
Range
Hypotension (Low)
Normal range
Mild hypertension (Hi) between 140 and 160
Moderately serious
hypertension (Very Hi)
Serious hypertension higher than 180
(Danger)
Further information
• If your values are mostly standard 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". Please consult your doctor if you suspect that this might be the
case.
Warning:
• Diastolic blood pressure values above 120mmHg require immediate medical
treatment.
