Understanding When Blood Pressure Becomes a Health Risk
Blood pressure is the force produced by the pumping of blood and muscle contractions of your heart. The beating of your heart carries oxygenated blood into the arteries, and this measurement taken after the heart contracts is considered the systolic pressure. When your heart is resting and blood pressure is at its lowest, this is known as the diastolic pressure. These two readings are used by healthcare providers to diagnose and determine if you have high blood pressure.
Generally, high blood pressure is indicated with:
- A systolic reading of 140 or higher (130+ for those with other heart risk factors)
- A diastolic measurement of 90 or higher (80+ if other heart risk factors arise)
Keep in mind, these levels are for average adults, and safe measurements for children depend and vary based on their age and height. Most importantly, if your systolic and diastolic readings reach over 180 and 120, respectively, they are considered dangerously high levels and you should seek immediate medical attention.
