May is High Blood Pressure Education Month. One in three American adults has high blood pressure, also called hypertension, and that's 67 million people who have to work to check their blood pressure daily. Unfortunately, more than half of people with high blood pressure do not have their condition under control.
Blood pressure is normal when systolic pressure (the higher number) is less than 120 mmHg, and diastolic pressure (the lower number) is less than 80 mmHg. People at risk for high blood pressure, often called prehypertension, have systolic pressure between 120 and 139 mmHg or diastolic between 80 and 89 mmHg. High blood pressure means systolic pressure is 140 mmHg or higher or diastolic is 90 mmHg or higher. Talk with your healthcare team about your personal blood pressure goal.
