High blood pressure (HBP) means the pressure in your arteries is higher than it should be. Another name for high blood pressure is hypertension. Blood pressure is written as two numbers, such as 112/78 mm Hg. The top, systolic, number is the pressure when the heart beats. Normal blood pressure is below 120/80 mm Hg.
There are four stages of high blood pressure or hypertension: STAGE 1 or Prehypertension is 120/80 to 139/89. STAGE 2 or Mild Hypertension is 140/90 to 159/99. STAGE 3 or Moderate Hypertension is 160/100 to 179/109.
