A member asked:
What does it mean when i take my blood pressure and systolic comes up prehypertension and diastolic comes up hypertension?

Further evaluation: Based upon your readings, your blood pressure is higher than it should be. Elevations of either the systolic or diastolic pressure can lead to complications. While you may not needing medication, further evaluation is warranted to avoid potential complications of hypertension. Good luck.
