Blood pressure is very high if your diastolic pressure is
above 90 mmHg and/or your systolic blood pressure is
over 160 mmHg, while at rest. In this case, please consult
your physician immediately. Long-term values at this level
endanger your health due to continual damage to the blood
vessels in your body.
If you have blood pressure values that are too high, (such
as systolic values between 140 mmHg and 159 mmHg and/
or under diastolic blood pressure values between 90 mmHg
and 99mmHg), consult your physician.
If you have blood pressure values that are too low, (such
as systolic values under 105 mmHg and/or diastolic values
under 60 mmHg), consult your physician.
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 physician.
Caution: Never use the results of your measurements
to independently alter the drug doses prescribed by your
physician.
Note:
• If your values are mostly normal under resting
conditions but exceptionally high under conditions of
physical or psychological stress, you may be suffering
from "labile hypertension". Consult your physician.
• Correctly measured diastolic blood pressure value
above 120mmHg require immediate medical treatment.
