Blood pressure is very high if your diastolic pressure is above 90 mmHg

and/or your systolic blood pressure is over 160 mmHg, while at rest. In this
case, please consult your physician immediately. Long-term values at this
level endanger your health due to continual damage to the blood vessels in
your body. If your systolic blood pressure values are between 140 mmHg and
159 mmHg and/or the diastolic blood pressure values between 90 mmHg and
99 mmHg, consult your physician. Regular self-checks are necessary. If you
have blood pressure values that are too low, (i.e., systolic values under 105
mmHg and/or diastolic values under 60 mmHg), consult your physician. 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 physician. Never use the results of your
measurements to independently alter the drug doses prescribed by your
physician.
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.

2.3. What can be done if regular high or low values are obtained?
1) Consult your doctor.
2) Increased blood pressure values (various forms of hypertension) are
associated with considerable health risks over time. Arterial blood vessels
in your body 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 result from arteriosclerosis. Further-
more, the heart will become structurally damaged with increased blood
pressure values.
3) 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 organ
malfunctions. Please consult your doctor for information about the possible
origins of your own increased blood pressure values.
4) There are measures which you can take to reduce and even prevent
high blood pressure.
