RX3 Plus English

Hypertension accelerates arterial sclerosis which can lead to very serious conditions such as stroke and myocardial infarction. For these reasons it is very important to know whether the blood pressure is within a healthy range. Blood pressure fluctuates from minute to minute, throughout the day. Therefore it is essential to take regular measurements to help you identify an average blood pressure.

Symptoms of high blood pressure

High blood pressure can go unnoticed for a long time, since it does not cause noticeable symptoms. The following are all possible causes of abnormally high blood pressure:

•Overweight

•High cholesterol level

•Smoking

•Excessive alcohol consumption

•Stress and emotional upset

•Excessive consumption of salt

•Lack of physical exercise

•Genetic/hereditary predisposition

•Underlying illnesses, such as kidney disorders or endocrine disturbance

Blood pressure measurement

Measuring your blood pressure daily enables you to recognize high blood pressure at an early stage and obtain medical treatment.

The oscillometric method of measurement determines your blood pressure by measuring the pressure fluctuations caused by the pulse waves.

Since your blood pressure fluctuates within a day (see graphic next page), you should always measure it at the same time each day to ensure that the measurements are genuinely comparable. At the doctor’s surgery, nervousness and tension may cause your blood pressure to be higher than in familiar circumstances at home. This is known as “White Coat Hypertension”.
