- 1 Normal: Less than 120 systolic and less than 80 diastolic. 2  Pre-hypertension: 120-139 systolic or 80-89 diastolic. 3  Hypertension: 140 or higher systolic or 90 or higher diastolic.  Hypertensive Crisis: higher than 180 or higher than 110 diastolic.

Blood Pressure Numbers Anything under 120/80 is considered normal blood pressure, but very low blood pressure can also be a health concern. Average numbers for blood pressure between 120/80 and 139/89 are considered to indicate prehypertension..

Know Your Blood Pressure Numbers A systolic blood pressure number of 140 or higher, on repeated measurements, is considered to be hypertension, or high blood pressure. What does the diastolic blood pressure number mean? The diastolic blood pressure number or the bottom number indicates the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats. A normal diastolic blood pressure number is 80 or less. A diastolic blood pressure between 80 and 89 is normal but higher than ideal.

blood pressure High blood pressure is defined as having a systolic blood pressure of 140mm Hg or higher (top number) and/or diastolic pressure (bottom number) of 90mmHg or higher for most people. When the systolic pressure is 140 mm Hg or higher but the diastolic pressure remains below 90 mm Hg, the condition is known as isolated systolic hypertension. The study found that isolated systolic hypertension is the dominant form of uncontrolled high blood pressure in people over the age of 50.

- The first number is the systolic pressure, when your heart pushes blood around your body. The second is the diastolic pressure, when your heart relaxes. Blood pressure usually ranges between 90 to 250 for the top or maximum number (systolic) and 60 to 140 for the bottom or minimum number (diastolic). A healthy blood pressure is 120/80 or less, but the lower you can get it, the better. To maintain a healthy level and reduce your risk of stroke and heart disease, check out our lifestyle tips. 140/90mmHg is the level used to diagnose high blood pressure for everyone, whatever your age.

- The second number, called diastolic blood pressure, measures the pressure in your blood vessels when your heart rests between beats. If the measurement reads 120 systolic and 80 diastolic, you would say “120 over 80” or write “120/80 mmHg.” The chart below shows normal, at-risk, and high blood pressure levels. A blood pressure less than 120/80 mmHg is normal. A blood pressure of 140/90 mmHg or more is too high. People with levels in between 120/80 and 140/90 have a condition called prehypertension, which means they are at high risk for high blood pressure.

Cardiology The effect of treatment of blood pressure between 140/90 mmHg and 160/100 mmHg is less clear, with some reviews finding benefit and others finding a lack of evidence for benefit. High blood pressure affects between 16 and 37% of the population globally.

What Does My Blood Pressure Reading Mean? Summary. 181/111 - 230/140. Readings above 180 systolic pressure (the upper number) or above 110 diastolic pressure (the lower number usually indicate a hypertensive crisis -- putting you in the highest risk category for heart attack, stroke, and other acute life-threatening problems -- and requiring emergency care.

- Hypertension (defined as a blood pressure over 140/90 mm Hg) affects more than two out of three individuals over 75 years of age. However, there has been a tendency not to treat these elevations in blood pressure with blood pressure lowering (anti-hypertensive) medications.

High Blood Pressure 1 Normal blood pressure is when your blood pressure is lower than 120/80 mmHg most of the time. 2  High blood pressure (hypertension) is when your blood pressure is 140/90 mmHg or above most of the time.  If your blood pressure numbers are 120/80 or higher, but below 140/90, it is called pre-hypertension.

Blood Pressure Readings Explained According to the American Heart Association, diastolic hypertension, or a bottom number of 90 mm Hg or higher, is most often a concern before age 50. If you have a high diastolic blood pressure, there are several practices that can help you lower the number to the optimum level of less than 80 mm Hg.

- The diastolic blood pressure number or the bottom number indicates the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats. A normal diastolic blood pressure number is 80 or less. A diastolic blood pressure between 80 and 89 is normal but higher than ideal. A diastolic blood pressure number of 90 or higher, on repeated measurements, is considered to be hypertension or high blood pressure.

High blood pressure (hypertension) Blood pressure measurements fall into four general categories: 1  Normal blood pressure. Your blood pressure is normal if it's below 120/80 mm Hg. 2  Prehypertension. Prehypertension is a systolic pressure ranging from 120 to 139 mm Hg or a diastolic pressure ranging from 80 to 89 mm Hg. 3  Stage 1 hypertension.

Rapid Review Pathology High blood pressure (hypertension) is defined as systolic blood pressure -- the top number -- averaging 140 mmHg or greater, and/or diastolic blood pressure -- the bottom number -- averaging 90 mmHg or greater. The systolic pressure is the pressure of blood in the vessels when the heart contracts.reating Hypertension 'Naturally'. High blood pressure treatment isn't limited to drugs. Lower blood pressure naturally. Natural treatments such as meditation and diet can have a significant effect.

A normal diastolic blood pressure number is 80 or less. A diastolic blood pressure between 80 and 89 is normal but higher than ideal.A diastolic blood pressure number of 90 or higher, on repeated measurements, is considered to be hypertension or high blood pressure. normal systolic blood pressure is 120 or below. A systolic blood pressure of 120-139 means you have normal blood pressure that is higher than ideal, or borderline high blood pressure.

High Blood Pressure One or both of these numbers can be too high. Normal blood pressure is when the top number (systolic blood pressure) is below 120 most of the time, and the bottom number (diastolic blood pressure) is below 80 most of the time (written as 120/80 mm Hg). If your blood pressure numbers are 120/80 or higher but below 140/90, it is called pre-hypertension.

Nonprescription Products to Avoid With Hypertension Readings of 120 to 139 (systolic) or 80 to 89 (diastolic) are referred to as prehypertension. If your systolic blood pressure is consistently above 140 or your diastolic pressure is consistently above 90, you are considered to have hypertension (figures provided by the National Institutes of Health).

- Therefore, one elevated blood pressure reading cannot be diagnosed as hypertension. ICD-9-CM code 796.2 is assigned for elevated blood pressure without a diagnosis of hypertension and for transient or borderline hypertension. Once hypertension is established by a physician, a code from category 401 is assigned, with a fourth digit required: 0 for malignant, 1 for benign, and 9 for unspecified. Do not assign a code for benign or malignant hypertension unless it is specifically documented by a physician.
