Here’s a clear blood pressure chart showing the ranges for adults, based on standard guidelines:
🩺 Adult Blood Pressure Categories
| Category | Systolic (Top #) mmHg | Diastolic (Bottom #) mmHg |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | < 120 | < 80 |
| Elevated | 120–129 | < 80 |
| High Blood Pressure (Stage 1) | 130–139 | 80–89 |
| High Blood Pressure (Stage 2) | ≥ 140 | ≥ 90 |
| Hypertensive Crisis | > 180 | > 120 |
💡 Tips
- Blood pressure can fluctuate throughout the day
- Take measurements at rest, ideally in the morning and evening
- Keep a log to share with your doctor for accurate assessment
- Lifestyle factors (salt, exercise, stress, weight) strongly affect blood pressure
If you want, I can make a color-coded visual blood pressure chart that’s easy to read at a glance for home use.
