Reference only — not medical advice. Blood pressure categories are based on American Heart Association guidelines. A single high reading is not a diagnosis; readings vary through the day. If your reading is in the Hypertensive Crisis range (higher than 180/120) and you have symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or vision changes, seek emergency care. Share this log with your doctor and follow their guidance.
