Further information

• 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 socalled «labile hypertension». Please consult your doctor if
you suspect that this might be the case.
• Correctly measured diastolic blood-pressure values above 120mmHg require
immediatemedical treatment.
2.3. What can be done, if regular increased/low values are obtained?
a) Please consult your doctor.
b) 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.
