Blood Pressure Category Checker
Classify blood pressure readings into normal, elevated, or hypertensive categories using current guideline thresholds.
Category
Enter both systolic and diastolic values.
How it works
- Enter systolic and diastolic readings in mmHg.
- Compare the values to guideline thresholds.
- The higher category from either value is shown.
Recommended actions based on your category
If your reading is not in the normal range, consider repeating the measurement and speaking with a healthcare professional. This guidance is informational and should be personalised by your clinician.
Elevated
- Recheck on another day using proper technique and a correctly sized cuff.
- Review salt intake, sleep, stress, and activity levels.
- Consider discussing trends with your doctor during your next visit.
Stage 1 or Stage 2 Hypertension
- Schedule a review with a clinician, especially if readings are consistently high.
- Track readings over several days (same time each day) and bring them to your appointment.
- Discuss lifestyle changes and, if needed, medication options with your doctor.
Hypertensive crisis
If your reading is above 180 systolic and/or 120 diastolic, seek urgent medical care immediately.
If you have symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, severe headache, weakness, or vision changes, treat it as an emergency.
