Table for classifying blood-pressure values: World Health Organization (unit: mmHg)
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 «normal» under resting conditions but exceptionally high
under conditions of physical or psychological stress, it is possible that you are suf-
fering from so-called «labile hypertension». In any case, please discuss the values
with your doctor.
• Correctly measured diastolic blood-pressure values above 120mmHg
require immediate medical 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.
c) There are many different causes of the appearance of high blood-pressure. We
differentiate between the common primary (essential) hypertension, and secondary
hypertension. The latter group can be ascribed to specific organic malfunctions.
