How the Blood Pressure Checker Works
Blood pressure has two numbers: the upper (systolic) is the pressure when your heart beats, the lower (diastolic) when it rests between beats.
This checker uses the ACC/AHA 2017 categories: normal is under 120/80, elevated is 120–129 with the lower under 80, stage 1 is 130–139 or 80–89, and stage 2 is 140/90 or more. Your category is set by the higher of the two numbers.

Blood Pressure Checker — Questions
How do I take an accurate reading at home?
Sit for 5 minutes with your back supported and feet flat. Rest your arm at heart level, and take two readings a minute apart. Avoid tea, coffee and smoking for 30 minutes before.
When is high BP an emergency?
A reading above 180/120 with chest pain, breathlessness, weakness, confusion or blurred vision needs emergency care. Call 90 5171 5171.
Does one high reading mean I have hypertension?
No. BP changes through the day. A diagnosis needs high readings on several different days.
