Blood pressure has two numbers that show, one is Systolic and the other is Diastolic. Systolic is the top number and it shows how much pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls when the heart beats. A normal systolic reading is below 120, 120-129 is considered elevated, 130-139 is considered stage 1 high blood pressure (also called hypertension), 140 or more is stage 2 hypertension, 180 or more is a hypertensive crisis and you should call 911. Diastolic is the bottom number, and it shows how much pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls while the heart is resting between beats. A normal diastolic reading is lower than 80 but can elevated blood pressure if your systolic is between 120-129. 80-89 is considered high blood pressure, 90 or more is stage 2 hypertension, 120 or more is a hypertensive crisis and you should call 911.
