What are the category values for Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is typically recorded as two numbers, written as a ratio like this: (Systolic/Diastolic). Your blood pressure rises with each heartbeat and falls when your heart relaxes between beats. Blood Pressure can change from minute to minute with changes in posture, exercise, stress, or sleep. 

Category	Systolic		Diastolic
Normal	Less than 120	and	Less than 80
Elevated	120-129	and	Less than 80
High Blood Pressure (Stage 1)	130-139	or	80-89
High Blood Pressure (Stage 2)	140 or Higher	or	90 or higher
Hypertensive Crisis (Consult your doctor)	Higher than 180	or	Higher than 120
