The higher your blood pressure levels the more risk you have for other health problems such as heart disease heart attack and stroke.

Blood pressure readings. You may have low blood pressure. More than 90 over 60 9060 and less than 120. Heres a look at the four blood pressure categories and what they mean for you.

Your blood pressure changes throughout the day based on your activities. Elevated blood pressure is when readings consistently range from 120-129 systolic and less than 80 mm Hg diastolic. If your blood pressure is elevated-- a systolic blood pressure between 120 and 129 or diastolic blood pressure of less than 80 -- your doctor will probably want to check it every 3-6 months.

For example if your blood pressure reading is 12585 millimeters of mercury mm Hg you have stage 1 hypertension. If your systolic and diastolic readings fall into two different categories your correct blood pressure category is the higher category. Having blood pressure measures consistently above normal may result in a diagnosis of high blood pressure or hypertension.

What blood pressure readings mean As you can see from the blood pressure chart only one of the numbers has to be higher or lower than it should be to count as either high blood pressure or low blood pressure. People with elevated blood pressure are likely to develop high blood pressure unless steps are taken to control the condition.
