Depending on the person and situation, a normal
blood pressure is:
•
lower value (DIA): < 90
•
upper value (SYS): < 140
In case of 'light hypertension', the blood pressure is:
•
lower value (DIA): 90-110
•
upper value (SYS): 140-180
In case of 'serious hypertension', the blood pressure
is:
•
lower value (DIA): >110
•
upper value (SYS): >180
During the entire day, our blood pressure is contin-
uously undergoing changes. In the morning it rises
heavily and at the end of the morning it goes down
again. In the late afternoon our blood pressure rises
yet again, while it settles on a low level at night.
This is why your measurements can vary when
taken at different times of the day.
