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 specic 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.

high under conditions of physical or psychological stress, it is possible that you
are suering 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.
