What is High Blood Pressure?

A BP of 140/90 mmHg or higher is considered to be high blood pressure. It is also known as hypertension. High blood pressure is a common condition in which blood’s long-term force against artery walls is abnormally high, so much so that it may eventually lead to health complications.

Generally, hypertension occurs in two distinct stages, namely, stage 1 and stage 2.

Stage 1 - Here, the systolic and diastolic pressure is just marginally higher than the normal range.

Stage 2 - In this phase, systolic and diastolic pressures are alarmingly high, leading to several health issues in the long run, if it remains unchecked.

The table below summarises the various stages of high blood pressure:

Age	Systolic/Diastolic blood pressure
61-65	143.5/76.5
