High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a common condition in which the force of blood against the walls of the arteries is consistently too high. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and is recorded as two numbers:   Systolic Pressure: This is the pressure when the heart beats and pumps blood into the arteries. Diastolic Pressure: This is the pressure when the heart is at rest between beats. A blood pressure reading is typically expressed as systolic over diastolic, with normal blood pressure being around 120/80 mm Hg.   However, high blood pressure is diagnosed when blood pressure consistently measures at 130/80 mm Hg or higher. Hypertension is categorized into stages based on the severity of the condition:   Stage 1 Hypertension: Systolic pressure ranging from 130 to 139 mm Hg or diastolic pressure ranging from 80 to 89 mm Hg. Stage 2 Hypertension: Systolic pressure of 140 mm Hg or higher or diastolic pressure of 90 mm Hg or higher. ...
