What Is Considered to Be High Blood Pressure?

High blood pressure occurs when the force of blood against your blood vessels is too strong, putting extra strain on your organs. It’s typically measured as two numbers, like 125/75. The first number represents the pressure during a heartbeat, and the second reflects pressure when the heart is at rest.

Do They Vary Based on Age, Gender, or Other Factors?

While older guidelines considered age, recent studies, like the SPRINT study, show that age isn’t a key factor. Instead, we assess your 10-year cardiovascular risk to determine if additional treatment is necessary.

What Else Should You Know?

The SPRINT trial changed blood pressure treatment, showing that maintaining a blood pressure below 120 significantly reduced the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and heart failure over three years.

Levels/Categories of Blood Pressure

Here are ranges for blood pressure:

  • Non-elevated blood pressure is less than 120/80.
  • Elevated Blood Pressure is when the top number is between 120-129, and the bottom number is less than 80.
  • STAGE 1 High Blood Pressure is when the top number is between 130-139, or the bottom number is between 80-89.
  • STAGE 2 High Blood Pressure is when the top number is between 140-179, or the bottom number is over 90.
  • High Blood Pressure Crisis is when the top number is higher than 180, or the bottom number is over 120.

Implications of High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure can damage your organs, leading to vision loss, heart attacks, and strokes. If your blood pressure is not well-managed, partnering with a healthcare provider like Vancouver Direct Primary Care is essential to help bring it under control.
