If you have blood pressure values that are too low (i.e., systolic
values under 105 mmHg and/or diastolic values under 60
mmHg), consult your physician.

with your blood pressure monitor is recommended. You can detect
possible changes in your values early and react appropriately.

date. Show these values to your physician. Never use the
results of your measurements to independently alter the
medication prescribed by your physician.
