#3 : With all due respect, sorry to say that this is the topic supposed to discuss between medical professionals.
Is there sub-categories to describe high blood pressure?

I am curious if high blood pressure is the all encompassing name for the disease or if it's more of an umbrella term and there are other ways to further specify the degree to which one experiences high blood pressure.
In my mind, I feel as though there should be a high blood pressure category, a very high blood pressure category, and an extremely high blood pressure category. Within these categories, there would probably be respective numbers for systolic and diastolic pressures that would correlate with each category.
Does anybody know the answer to this? Is this a theory or something seen in medical practice?
Thanks! ☺️

I have no idea. From my experience the numbers are just said and based on those the discussion moves forward.

As an emt, low blood pressure is any systolic (the first number) below 90. Totally normal blood pressure is 120/80, or around that. Higher blood pressures start like, mid 130s/90s, and super dangerous blood pressures are 180s/120s or so. But Ive seen people with those pressures that don't experience any symptoms either, and i get called there for a completely unrelated problem.
ElaizaI have no specific answer to your question. You have a point though!

I'm not exactly sure. My boyfriend had high blood pressure but he also had other health problems that were more serious so I don't know too many details about it

I think it can only be told by medical people #4.
