High blood pressure, medically known as hypertension, occurs when the force of blood against the artery walls remains consistently elevated. Normal blood pressure is around 120/80 mmHg. Persistent readings above this range require proper medical evaluation.
Hypertension is often called the “silent condition” because many people experience no obvious symptoms, yet uncontrolled high blood pressure can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney complications.
Blood Pressure Categories
- Elevated: 120–129 systolic and below 80 diastolic
- Stage 1 Hypertension: 130–139 systolic or 80–89 diastolic
- Stage 2 Hypertension: 140+ systolic or 90+ diastolic
- Hypertensive Crisis: Above 180/120 (requires immediate medical care)
