High blood pressure doesn’t always come with symptoms — but it does come with consequences.
Here’s a breakdown of what your BP numbers actually mean, and when it’s time to take action.
➡ Normal
⚠️ Elevated
🩺 Stage 1
🚨 Stage 2
🆘 And yes… Hypertensive Crisis.
Most people don’t realize:
🔹 Stage 1 may still need treatment — especially if you have other risk factors
🔹 Elevated BP is a warning sign, not “normal aging”
🔹 You can feel totally fine… and still be at risk
💡 Reminder: If your blood pressure is ever ≥180/120, that’s a hypertensive crisis. Seek immediate medical care.
