    Further Information • The level of blood pressure is subject to fluctuations even with healthy people. Important thereby is, that comparable measurements always require the same conditions (Quiet conditions)! If, in spite of observing all these factors, the fluctuations are larger than 15 mmHg, and / or you hear irregular pulse tones on several occasions, please consult your doctor.
  • Page 16 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, please consult your doctor immediately. Furthermore, 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.
