Should the systolic blood pressure values lie between 140 mmHg and
159 mmHg and/or the diastolic blood pressure values lie between 90 mmHg
and 99 mmHg, consult your doctor. Regular self-checks will be necessary.
With blood pressure values that are too low (i.e. systolic values under
105 mmHg and/or diastolic values under 60 mmHg), consult your doctor.
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 doctor. Never use the results of your measurements to
independently alter the medication prescribed by your doctor.
Which values are normal?
The following standards for assessing high blood pressure in adults
have been established by the American Heart Association (AHA) and
American College of Cardiology (ACC) in 2017.
Additional information
• This chart reflects a 2017 update to blood pressure standards.
• If your values are mostly normal under resting conditions but excep-
tionally high under conditions of physical or psychological stress, it is
possible that you are suffering from so-called "labile hypertension".
Consult your doctor.
