Easily Check Your Blood Pressure Readings Against the JNC 7* Classification Blood Pressure Categories (mmHg) 6:' Stage 2 Hypertension e.g.: SBP 165 o DBP 105 p2 100 Stage 1 Hypertension e.g.: SBP 150 DBP 95 • 90 Prehypertension e.g.: SBP 130 •O 80 DBP 85 Normal e.g.:SBP 115 z DBP 75 03 120 140 160 (mmHg) Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) If the two blood pressure measurements (systolic, diastolic) fall into separate categories, your level is classified in the higher of the two categories. For example, a Stage 2 systolic reading, but a diastolic pressure reading in the normal range. *JNC 7: The Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure National Institute of Health (NIH) Publication; No. 03-5233, May 2003 IMPORTANT: • Do not be alarmed by temporarily high or low readings because fluctuations in a person's blood pressure are not uncommon. If possible, measure and record your blood pressure at the same time every day, and consult your physician if you have questions or concerns. • If abnormal variations in blood pressure are observed in measurement, please consult your physician. 8

Readings
Against
the
JNC
7*
Classification
If
the
two
blood
pressure
measurements
(systolic,
diastolic)
fall
into
separate
categories,
your
level
is
classified
in
the
higher
of
the
two
categories.
For
example,
a
Stage
2
systolic
reading,
but
a
diastolic
pressure
reading
in
the
normal
range.

and
consult
your
