2.2. Measurement guidelines
Blood pressure is very high if your systolic blood pressure is over 140
mmHg and/or your diastolic pressure is above 90 mmHg. In this case, please
consult your doctor immediately. Long-term values at this level endanger
your health due to continual damage to the blood vessels in your body.
Should the systolic blood pressure values lie between 130 mmHg and
139 mmHg and/or the diastolic blood pressure values lie between 80
mmHg and 89 mmHg, consult your doctor. Regular self-checks will be
necessary.
With blood pressure values that are too low (i.e. systolic values under
105 mmHg and/or diastolic values under 60 mmHg), consult your doc-
tor.
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 doctor. Never use the results of your measurements to
independently alter the medication prescribed by your doctor.
