Information about blood pressure

Blood pressure does not remain constant but is
continually changing. In the morning the blood
pressure is lower than in the evening and it is at
its lowest during sleep. It is also influenced by
eating, smoking, stress and bodily exertion.
High blood pressure is usually not immediately
noticeable by the occurrence of particular
complaints. If though, it goes unnoticed or
untreated, it can lead to serious health problems.
For this reason, regular blood pressure measure-
ments as well as diagnosis and treatment by a
doctor are so important.
A reliable assessment of blood pressure is only
possible if you measure blood pressure regularly
under comparable conditions.
However, measuring your own blood pressure is
not a therapy. Never alter on your own accord
any medication dosage that your doctor has pre-
scribed.
