High blood pressure, what your doctor may call hypertension (HTN), has a lot of disastrous effects if it is not controlled. These are the latest figures:
Systolic Diastolic
Normal <120 <80
Prehypertension 120-139 80-89
Stage 1 HTN 140-159 90-99
Stage 2 HTN >160 >100
If you fall within the prehypertensive state, it is advised that you control it with exercise and diet, and possibly medication. If you have Stage 1 or 2 it is STRONGLY advised that you consult your family doctor or cardiologist.
