1. Important facts about blood pressure
and self-measurement
 Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood flowing in the
arteries generated by the pumping of the heart. Two values, the
systolic (upper) value and the diastolic (lower) value, are
always measured.
 The device indicates the pulse rate (the number of times the
heart beats in a minute).
 Permanently high blood pressure values can damage your
health and must be treated by your doctor!

 Always discuss your values with your doctor and tell them if you
have noticed anything unusual or feel unsure. Never rely on
single blood pressure readings.
 There are several causes of excessively high blood pressure
values. Your doctor will explain them in more detail and offer
treatment where appropriate.
 Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of
drugs or initiate a treatment without consulting your doctor.
 Depending on physical exertion and condition, blood pressure is
subject to wide fluctuations as the day progresses. You should
therefore take your measurements in the same quiet condi-
tions and when you feel relaxed! Take at least two readings
every time (in the morning: before taking medications and eating
/ in the evening: before going to bed, bathing or taking medica-
tion) and average the measurements.
 It is quite normal for two measurements taken in quick succession
to produce significantly different results.
 Deviations between measurements taken by your doctor or in
the pharmacy and those taken at home are quite normal, as these
situations are completely different.
 Several measurements provide much more reliable information
about your blood pressure than just one single measurement.
 Leave a small break of 5 minutes between two measurements.
