Is blood pressure 156 over 109 ok?

Answer 1

No, this is not OK. If your blood pressure continues to stay at this level, or some where similar, you definitely need to get medical attention. The Doctor may decide to prescribe Blood Pressure Medication to help control this problem.

Normal Blood Pressure is generally

Systolic (top number) less than 120

Diastolic (bottom number) less than 80

The following is based on the average adult over the age of 18, with no major health problems.

Systolic/Diastolic

Normal (as stated above)

Pre-hypertension

120-139/80-99

Stage 1 High Blood Pressure

140-159/90-99

Stage 2 High Blood Pressure

160+/100+

If your blood pressure stays in these area's, please contact a Doctor in order to determine if medication may be needed to help control your blood pressure. This is very dangerous as it can cause many health problems, such as Heart disease, stroke, heart attack, and death.
