- The optimal systolic pressure is 80-118 mmHg, while the diastolic is 50-90 mmHg.
- The normal systolic pressure is 120-129 mmHg, while the diastolic is 80-84 mmHg.
- Normal high systolic pressure is 130-139 mmHg, while diastolic is 85-89 mmHg.
- Value of blood pressure needed for home treatment: In this case it is necessary to change the lifestyle, then take the drug if no improvement within three to six months when the systolic pressure is 140-159 mm Hg, the diastolic 90-99 mm Hg.
- The value of blood pressure that needs medication is: Systolic above 160 mmHg, the diastolic above 100 mmHg.
