Further information
• If your values are mostly normal 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". Consult your doctor.
• Correctly measured diastolic blood pressure values above 120mmHg
require immediate medical treatment.
*Not intended for use on children under 12 years of age.
2.3. What can be done if regular high or low values are obtained?
a) Consult your doctor.
b) Increased blood pressure values (various forms of hypertension) are associated
with considerable health risks over time. rterial blood vessels in your body
are endangered due to constriction caused by deposits in the vessel walls
( rteriosclerosis). deficient supply of blood to important organs (heart, brain,
muscles) can result from arteriosclerosis. Furthermore, the heart will become
structurally damaged with increased blood pressure values.
c) There are many different causes 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 to reduce and prevent high blood
pressure. These measures must be permanent lifestyle changes.
