When a person gets a blood pressure reading, they will have one of the following <https://www.heart.org/en/health-topics/high-blood-pressure/understanding-blood-pressure-readings> :
*Normal*: Less than 120/80 mm Hg. *Elevated*: 120–129/80 mm Hg. At this stage, a doctor will advise the individual to make lifestyle changes to return their blood pressure to the normal range. *Stage 1 hypertension*: 130–139/80–89 mm Hg. *Stage 2 hypertension*: Over 140/90 mm Hg. *Hypertensive crisis*: 180/120 mm Hg or above.
