High blood pressure is the most common disease worldwide. It can cause severe threats to your life and may result in heart attack, stroke and other chronic diseases. A lot of people suffer from this disease, but few of them notice it until there are severe symptoms. That’s why regular monitoring of your blood pressure is necessary.
High blood pressure is also known as hypertension (HTN). It is a long-term medical condition in which blood pressure in arteries is persistently elevated. Its signs and symptoms are headaches, shortness of breath, tinnitus, vertigo, altered vision, and fainting episodes.
Stage of blood pressure
There are three stages of high blood pressure
a) Stage 1: It is within the range of 130-139mm Hg systolic and 80-89mm Hg diastolic pressure.
b) Stage 2: It is within the scope of 140mm Hg or higher systolic and 90mm Hg or higher diastolic pressure.
c) Hypertensive crisis occurs when systolic pressure is more significant than 180mm Hg and diastolic pressure is higher than 120mm Hg.
There are two major types of high blood pressure

Monitoring blood pressure at home
It is measured by using two readings in millimeters of mercury denoted as mm Hg.
Systolic Pressure (1st reading): Its average value is 100-120mm Hg
Diastolic Pressure (2nd reading): Its average value is 60-80mm Hg
It is very important to measure blood pressure accurately. For this purpose, digital blood pressure monitors are used.
