Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am an 18 year old female with a normal blood pressure of 145/105 (give or take a few) and I've looked at many charts saying that, of course, I have high blood pressure. The thing is, how could the sys. pressure be stage one, while the dia. pressure be stage two? What does it mean?
hello dear, thanks for posting your query. Firstly let me explain that the staging of the BP is dictated by the higher BP whether it is systolic or diastolic. That means like in your case if the systolic BP is stage I and diastolic is stage II, it is overall stage II hypertension. And other way round if the systolic falls in stage II and even if the diastolic is stage I, again the overall stage would be stage II hypertension. I hope this will help you.
