Below 120and Below 80Normal blood pressure. Between 120-139or Between 80-89Prehypertension. Between 140-159or Between 90-99Stage 1 hypertension. 160 or higheror 100 or higherStage 2 hypertension. Maintain or adopt a healthy lifestyle. Talk to your doctor about taking more than one medication. When your systolic (upper number) pressure is between 120 and 139 mm Hg or your diastolic (lower number) pressure is between 80 and 89 mm Hg, it means you have prehypertension. Although these numbers aren't technically considered high blood pressure, you've moved out of the normal range. Stage 2 hypertension, which is a very serious form of high blood pressure, also requires more frequent blood pressure checks and a high level of careful monitoring. If you think you have stage 2 hypertension or have stage 2 hypertension, speak to your doctor and seek treatment. The majority of all people with high blood pressure are "salt sensitive, meaning that anything more than the minimal bodily need for salt is too much for them and increases their blood pressure. Other factors that can raise the risk of having essential hypertension include obesity; diabetes; stress; insufficient intake of potassium, calcium, and magnesium; lack of physical activity; and chronic alcohol consumption. When a direct cause for high blood pressure can be identified, the condition is described as secondary hypertension. Among the known causes of secondary hypertension, kidney disease ranks highest. Hypertension can also be triggered by tumors or other abnormalities that cause the adrenal glands (small glands that sit atop the kidneys) to secrete excess amounts of the hormones that elevate blood pressure. Birth control pills -- specifically those containing estrogen -- and pregnancy can boost blood pressure, as can medications that constrict blood vessels.
