When blood pressure values are too low, i.e. systolic values under 100 mmHg and/or diastolic values under
60 mmHg, consult your doctor.

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.

If you are undergoing medical treatment to control your blood pressure, please keep a record of the level of
your blood pressure by carrying out regular self-measurements at specific times of the day. Show these
values to your doctor. Never use the results of your measurements to independently alter drug
doses prescribed by your doctor.

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) over time are associated with

considerable risks to health. Blood vessels in your body are endangered due to constriction caused by
deposits in the vessel walls (Arteriosclerosis). This can result in a deficient supply of blood to important
organs (heart, brain, muscles). Additionally, the heart will become structurally damaged.

c) There are many different causes of high blood pressure. We differentiate between the common primary

(essential) hypertension, and secondary hypertension. Secondary hypertension can cause organ
malfunctions. Please consult your doctor for information about the possible origins of your own
increased blood pressure values.

d) There are lifestyle changes you can make to prevent and reduce high blood pressure. These measures

must be part of a healthy lifestyle and include:
