Heath Blood pressure


Now, any reading under 120/80 is considered normal.

However, anything between 120/80 and 139/89 is now considered "prehypertensive; previously that was considered within the normal range.

Anything between 139/89 and 159/99 is considered "Stage 1 hypertension."

And anything topping 160/100 is "Stage 2 hypertension."
