What blood pressure would be by a hypertensive patient?
Blood pressure is assessed by measuring two pressures. The maximum pressure (called systolic) and the minimum pressure (diastolic). When the heart pumps blood it squirts it into the arteries. Each time the heart contracts so it goes from highest during the squirt or pulse to lowest when at rest before and after the squirt. These are usually written with the high pressure over low pressure. Ideal is usually considered 120/80. If either of these two pressures is too high the person is considered hypertensive. Most authorities would consider a patient with blood pressure higher than 140 over 90 to be hypertensive (needing treatment) and higher than 160 over 100 to be seriously (Stage 2) hypertensive. What's not often mentioned when discussing these numbers is they are for routine or sustained blood pressure. Everyone's blood pressure can jump up during periods of excitement, fear, stress, adrenaline release etc. I've read that members of the polar bear club's systolic blood pressure can go as high a 200 when they plunge into the icy water.
