Note
Guideline range
Lifestyle changes are commonly recommended; confirm with a professional.
Tip
Repeat readings
Take multiple readings on different days.
This blood pressure risk calculator classifies a BP reading into common guideline categories: normal, elevated, stage 1, stage 2, and very high.
People often search 'is my blood pressure high' or 'bp stage calculator'. This page makes the categories clear and provides next-step guidance (informational only).
For any urgent symptoms or very high readings, contact a qualified professional immediately.
