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.
