Is 142 over 80 considered hypertension?

Bp: 142 is high, but it fluctuates depending on the time of day and activity level. You need to monitor it and keep an eye on it.

Very borderline: Need to check repeated readings to get an average. Look for any special stress than might be causing it, and cut out salt and work on diet and exercise to keep it from progressing in future.
