What is a normal blood pressure?

Normal blood pressure is generally considered to be less than 120 systolic and less than 80 diastolic.

What happens if my systolic and diastolic are in different categories?

Your overall blood pressure category is determined by whichever number is in the higher category. For example, if your systolic is 125 (Elevated) but your diastolic is 85 (Stage 1), you are considered Stage 1.

What should I do if my blood pressure is in the Hypertensive Crisis range?

You should seek immediate medical attention if your blood pressure is consistently over 180 systolic or over 120 diastolic.
