Systolic Blood-Pressure; Diastolic Blood-Pressure; What Can Be Done, If Regular Increased/Low Values Are Obtained - Microlife BP 3AX1 Manual De Instrucciones

Table for classifying blood-pressure values (units mmHg) according to World Health Organization:
Range
Hypotension
Normal range
Mild hypertension
Moderate hypertension
Severe hypertension
☞ 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.
• Correctly measured diastolic blood-pressure values above 120mmHg require immediate
medical treatment.

2.3. What can be done, if regular increased/low values are obtained?

a) Please consult your doctor.
b) Increased blood-pressure values (various forms of hypertension) are associated long- and
medium term with considerable risks to health. This concerns the arterial blood vessels of your
body, which are endangered due to constriction caused by deposits in the vessel walls
(Arteriosclerosis). A deficient supply of blood to important organs (heart, brain, muscles) can be
the result. Furthermore, with long-term continuously increased blood-pressure values, the heart
will become structurally damaged.
c) There are many different causes of the appearance of high blood pressure. We differentiate
between the common primary (essential) hypertension, and secondary hypertension. The latter
group can be ascribed to specific organic malfunctions. Please consult your doctor for
information about the possible origins of your own increased blood pressure values.
d) There are measures which you can take, not only for reducing a medically established high blood
pressure, but also for prevention. These measures are part of your general way of life:
