Blood Pressure Metric Evaluator
Classify a blood pressure reading according to standard American Heart Association categories.
Where your numbers fall on the standard categories
Blood pressure is read as two numbers — systolic (pressure during a heartbeat) over diastolic (pressure between beats) — and compared against thresholds used by health organizations to define ranges like normal, elevated, and hypertension stage 1 or 2.
Why a single reading isn't the full picture
Blood pressure naturally fluctuates through the day and can spike temporarily from caffeine, stress, or simply the "white coat effect" of a clinical setting. One elevated reading is a reason to re-check, not a diagnosis — consistent readings over several days matter more than any single number.
