🩺 KNOW YOUR NUMBERS: Understanding Blood Pressure Stages
High blood pressure (hypertension) is often called the "Silent Killer" because it usually has no warning signs, yet it can quietly damage your heart, brain, kidneys, and blood vessels.
Do you know what your blood pressure reading means?
✅ Optimal: <120 / <80 mmHg
🟢 Normal: 120–129 / 80–84 mmHg
🟡 At Risk: 130–139 / 85–89 mmHg
🟠 Stage 1 Hypertension: 140–159 / 90–99 mmHg
🔴 Stage 2 Hypertension: 160–179 / 100–109 mmHg
