Should the systolic blood pressure values lie between 140 mmHg and
160 mmHg and / or the diastolic blood pressure values lie between 90 mmHg
and 100 mmHg, immediately, please consult your doctor immediately. Further-
more, regular self–checks will be necessary.
With blood pressure values that are too low, i.e. systolic values under 100 mmHg
and / or diastolic values under 60 mmHg, 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 timely detect deviations
from permissible values and take the necessary measures to prevent hyperten-
sion and the development of complications. If for medical reasons you have to
control your blood pressure, measure it regularly at the same time of the day and
keep a self-monitoring diary so that the doctor could evaluate changes in values.
Never use the results of your measurements to alter independently the drug
doses prescribed by your doctor.
