Prehypertension...: ...is mildly elevated blood pressure. Blood pressures range from 120-139 (systolic)/80-89 (diastolic). It can progress to high blood pressure (hypertension) if one does not make the necessary lifestyle changes, such as exercising and eating healthier. Both prehypertension and high blood pressure increase your risk of heart attack, stroke and heart failure.
