Dangerous – usually has no symptoms – subtle AS POPULATION AGES, PREVELANCE OF HIGH BP WILL INCREASE FURTHER UNLESS EFFECTIVE PREVENTATIVE MEASURES ARE IMPLEMENTED. EDUCATION IS ONE OF THEM!
- Doctors classify blood pressures under 140/90 as either "normal," or "prehypertension." "Normal" blood pressures are lower than 120/80.
- EXPLAIN - THIS IS PART OF THE NEW BODY OF RESEARCH – WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS NORMAL IS NOW CONSIDERED PREHYPERTENSIVE – YOU ARE AT RISK AND CAN DEVELOP HIGH BP UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PREVENT IT. " Prehypertension" is blood pressure between 120 and 139 for the top number, or between 80 and 89 for the bottom number. For example, blood pressure readings of 138/82, 128/89, or 130/86 are all in the "prehypertension" range. If your blood pressure is in the prehypertension range, it is more likely that you will end up with high blood pressure unless you take action to prevent it.

For example, 160/80 would be stage 2 high blood pressure. There is an exception to the above definition of high blood pressure. A blood pressure of 130/80 or higher is considered high blood pressure in persons with diabetes and chronic kidney disease.

- Heart Attack - High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart attack. The arteries bring oxygen-carrying blood to the heart muscle. If the heart cannot get enough oxygen, chest pain, can occur. If the flow of blood is blocked, a heart attack results. Heart Failure -
- Drinking too much alcohol can raise blood pressure. It also can harm the liver, brain, and heart. Alcoholic drinks also contain calories, which matter if you are trying to lose weight. If you drink alcoholic beverages, have only a moderate amount — one drink a day for women; two drinks a day for men. What counts as a drink? 12 ounces of beer (regular or light, 150 calories), or 5 ounces of wine (100 calories), or 1 ounces of 80-proof whiskey (100 calories). SALT A key to healthy eating is choosing foods lower in salt and sodium. Most Americans consume more salt than they need. The current recommendation is to consume less than 2.4 grams (2,400 milligrams[mg] ) of sodium a day. That equals 6 grams (about 1 teaspoon) of table salt a day. The 6 grams include ALL salt and sodium consumed, including that used in cooking and at the table. For someone with high blood pressure, the doctor may advise eating less salt and sodium, as recent research has shown that people consuming diets of 1,500 mg of sodium had even better blood pressure lowering benefits. These lower-sodium diets also can keep blood pressure from rising and help blood pressure medicines work better. Losing even 10 pounds can lower blood pressure
