What is high blood pressure?
High blood pressure is common, and many Americans don't know they have it. Elevated blood pressure is defined as a systolic pressure above 120, but a diastolic pressure below 80 at rest. High blood pressure in adults is defined as a resting blood pressure above 130/80, but note that readings in women are usually five points lower. Average blood pressure also varies by age group.
- Categories of high blood pressure
- High pressure stage 1: between 130/80 and 140/90
- High blood pressure grade 2: above 140/90
- If your blood pressure is higher than 180 systolic or 120 diastolic, contact your doctor immediately. This range of blood pressure is considered a hypertensive crisis and can lead to sudden hypertension.
