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
alter independently the drug doses prescribed by your doctor.
Table for classifying blood-pressure values (units mmHG) according to World Health Organization:
Colour
Range
Light green
blood pressure too low
Light green
blood pressure optimum
Green
blood pressure normal
Yellow
blood pressure slightly high
Orange
blood pressure too high
Red
blood pressure far too high
blood pressure dangerously
Dark
red
high
The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation. Example: a readout value between
150/85 or 120/98 mmHg indicates «blood pressure too high».
☞ 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 so- called
«labile hypertension». Please consult your doctor if you suspect that this might be the case.
• Correctly measured diastolic blood-pressure values above 120mmHg require immediate
medical treatment.
