Answer 2

Hypertension is sustained elevation of resting systolic BP (≥ 140 mm Hg), diastolic BP (≥ 90 mm Hg), or both. Hypertension with no known cause (primary; formerly, essential hypertension) is most common; hypertension with an identified cause (secondary hypertension) is usually due to a renal disorder. Usually, no symptoms develop unless hypertension is severe or long-standing. Diagnosis is by sphygmomanometry. Tests may be done to determine cause, assess damage, and identify other cardiovascular risk factors. Treatment involves lifestyle changes and drugs, including diuretics, β-blockers, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, and Ca channel blockers.
Classification- B.P. (systolic / diastolic- mm Hg)
Normal- less than 120/80 mm Hg.
Pre-hypertension (120 to 139)/(80 to 89) mm Hg.
Stage 1 hypertension -(140 to 159)/(90 to 99) mm Hg.
Stage 2 hypertension- equals or more than 160/ = or > 100 mm Hg.

Answer 3

Normal blood pressure is 120 over 80 but that's just normal. Some have pressure that's up a little and some have their pressure is down but high blood pressure si when one is 140 and over and the other is over 90. SO check your pressure regularly.
