General instructions for self-
measurement of blood pressure
Selfmeasurement does not equate to therapy. Do not change the
dosage of the medicines prescribed by the doctor on your own
initiative.
1. Blood pressure fluctuations are normal. Even with a repeat
measurement, considerable differences can occur. One-time or
irregular measurements do not provide reliable information about
the actual blood pressure. A reliable assessment is only possible if
you measure regularly under comparable conditions and write down
the measured values in the blood pressure passport.
2. The measurement must always be taken in the relaxed state. It is
advisable to check your blood pressure twice a day - in the morning
when you get up and in the evening when you have relaxed after
work.
