When Should You Be Concerned?
Blood pressure is usually considered high when readings consistently reach 140/90 mmHg or above.
On the other end of the spectrum, values below 90/60 mmHg indicate low blood pressure, which can also cause symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, or faintness.
One important thing to remember: a single measurement doesn’t tell the whole story. Blood pressure fluctuates throughout the day. Stress, physical activity, or even a rushed appointment can temporarily raise it.
Occasional high readings? No need to panic.
Repeated high readings over time? That’s when it’s wise to consult your doctor.
