2.3. What can be done if regular increased/low
values are obtained?
1. Please consult your doctor.
2. Increased blood-pressure values (various forms of
hypertension) are associated long- and medium term with
considerable risks to health. This concerns the arterial blood
vessels of your body, which 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 be the result. Furthermore,
with long-term continuously increased blood-pressure
values, the heart will become structurally damaged.
3. There are many different causes of the appearance of high
blood pressure. We differentiate between the common
primary (essential) hypertension, and secondary
hypertension. The latter group can be ascribed to specific
organic malfunctions. Please consult your doctor for
information about the possible origins of your own increased
blood pressure values.
