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, in consultation with your physician.
If you are undergoing medical treatment to control your blood pressure, please
keep a record of your blood pressure levels by carrying out regular self-meas-
urements at specific times of the day. Show these values to your doctor.
Never use the results of your measurements to discontinue or inde-
pendently alter the drug doses prescribed by your doctor.
The following standards for assessing high blood pressure (without regard to
age) have been established by the National Institutes of Health JNCVL

• If your values are mostly standard under resting conditions but
exceptionally high under conditions of physical or psychological stress, it is
possible that you are suffering from so-called "labile hypertension". Please
consult your doctor if you suspect that this might be the case.
