Calculator Inputs Explained
Systolic (top number): Pressure when heart beats
Diastolic (bottom number): Pressure between heartbeats
Measured in mmHg (millimeters of mercury)
Both numbers important for overall assessment
How the Calculation Works
Blood pressure is categorized based on ACC/AHA guidelines. Normal is less than 120/80 mmHg. Elevated is 120-129 systolic and less than 80 diastolic. Stage 1 hypertension is 130-139 systolic or 80-89 diastolic. Stage 2 hypertension is 140+ systolic or 90+ diastolic. Hypertensive crisis requires immediate medical attention.
Example Scenarios
Normal BP: 118/76 mmHg - Maintain current lifestyle
Elevated BP: 125/78 mmHg - Increase exercise and reduce sodium
Stage 1 Hypertension: 135/87 mmHg - Consult healthcare provider
Stage 2 Hypertension: 145/92 mmHg - Seek medical evaluation

Important Notes & Disclaimer
This blood pressure calculator is for informational purposes only and should not replace professional medical evaluation. Blood pressure varies throughout the day. A single reading doesn't confirm hypertension. Multiple readings over time are needed for accurate diagnosis. Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized blood pressure management, diagnosis, and treatment. If you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, or other emergency symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.
