A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stage 2 hypertension: 141/92 is stage 2 hypertension, so the doctor will likely consider medications, but each patient is looked at individually. The categories are: Elevated Blood Pressure: systolic between 120-129 AND diastolic less than 80; Stage 1 hypertension: systolic between 130-139, OR diastolic between 80-89; Stage 2: systolic at least 140, OR diastolic at least 90 mmHg.
