Isolated systolic HTN (grade 1) – SBP within 140 to 159 & DBP below 90.Stage 3 hypertension individual require immediate emergency medical care. Stage 2 hypertension individual needs to take combination hypertension medication along with healthy lifestyle changes. Stage 1 hypertension individual needs lifestyle changes and may consider taking blood pressure medication. Prehypertension individuals are likely to develop high blood pressure unless you introduce necessary healthy habits. Prehypertension is considering as an alarm that you may develop hypertension at any time. Prehypertension – Within 130 to 139 (SBP) & 85 to 89 (DBP).Keep it up, stick with a healthy diet, and doing regular exercise. Even if it is not optimal, it is still considering a good number. Blood pressure range noted among most healthy individuals. Normal BP – Below 130 (SBP) & 85 (DBP).This range is good for your heart, kidney, other internal organs, and for overall health.

However, if you find hurdles, then it is ok for you to relax your target a little based on age. Yes, it is always better to manage this number without considering the age. Some modern physicians thought that healthy blood pressure reading is 120/80 mmHg regardless of any consideration for age. The study SPRINT (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial) found that when systolic blood pressure was lowered to below 120 mmHg, there was a 27 % reduction in mortality from all causes compared to below 140 mmHg. We came to know through medical studies that there is a thumb rule for the systolic number is 100 plus your age for men (100 plus age minus 10 for female). The blood pressure chart on this page provides blood pressure related to age. Naturally, aging loses the elasticity of the arteries.
