How do I evaluate my blood pressure?

Table for classifying blood pressure values in adults in accordance
with the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 2003. Data in mmHg.
Range Systolic Diastolic Recommendation
blood pressure 100
too low
1. blood pressure 100 - 120 60 - 80
optimum
2. blood pressure 120 - 130 80 - 85
normal
3. blood pressure 130 - 140 85 - 90
slightly high
4. blood pressure 140 - 160 90 - 100
too high
5. blood pressure 160 - 180 100 - 110
far too high
6. blood pressure 180

The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation. Example:
a readout value between 150/85 or 120/98 mmHg indicates «blood
pressure too high».
