Enter the systolic and diastolic blood pressure values into the calculator to determine your blood pressure status. The calculator will classify your blood pressure as Normal, Elevated, High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Stage 1, High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Stage 2, or Hypertensive Crisis.

Blood Pressure Status Categories

The following categories are used to classify blood pressure levels:

  • Normal: Systolic < 120 mmHg and Diastolic < 80 mmHg
  • Elevated: Systolic between 120-129 mmHg and Diastolic < 80 mmHg
  • High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Stage 1: Systolic between 130-139 mmHg or Diastolic between 80-89 mmHg
  • High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Stage 2: Systolic at least 140 mmHg or Diastolic at least 90 mmHg
  • Hypertensive Crisis: Systolic over 180 mmHg and/or Diastolic over 120 mmHg

It is important to regularly monitor your blood pressure and consult with a healthcare provider to manage your blood pressure levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

How to Use the 120/80 Calculator?

The following steps outline how to use the 120/80 Blood Pressure Calculator:

  1. First, measure your systolic blood pressure (the top number) in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
  2. Next, measure your diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
  3. Enter both the systolic and diastolic values into the respective fields in the calculator.
  4. Click the “Calculate” button to determine your blood pressure status.
  5. The calculator will display your blood pressure status based on the entered values.
  6. If your blood pressure is in the “Hypertensive Crisis” category, seek immediate medical attention.
