Which values are normal?

Blood pressure is too high if at rest, the diastolic pressure is above 90mmHg and/or the systolic blood-pressure is over 160mmHg. In this case, please consult your doctor immediately. Long-term values at this level endanger your health due to the associated advancing damage to the blood vessels in your body.

Should the systolic blood-pressure values lie between 140mmHg and 160mmHg and/or the diastolic blood-pressure values lie between 90mmHg and 95mmHg, likewise, please consult your doctor. Furthermore, regular self-checks will be necessary.

With blood-pressure values that are too low, i.e. systolic values under 100mmHg and/or diastolic values under 60mmHg, likewise, please consult your doctor.

Even with normal blood-pressure values, a regular self-check with your blood-pressure monitor is recommended. In this way you can detect possible changes in your values early and react appropriately.

If you are undergoing medical treatment to control your blood pressure, please keep a record of the level of your blood pressure by carrying out regular self-measurements at specific times of the day. Show these values to your doctor. Never use the results of your measurements to alter independently the drug doses prescribed by your doctor.
