Blood Pressure Category Calculator

Classifies a blood pressure reading into the American Heart Association categories from normal to hypertensive crisis, and computes pulse pressure and mean arterial pressure.

Notes

  • The AHA category uses whichever number is worse: a reading is stage 1 if the top is 130–139 or the bottom is 80–89.
  • One high reading is not a diagnosis — pressure swings with stress, caffeine and time of day; measure at rest on several days.
  • This is an educational estimate, not medical advice; consult a professional for decisions about your health.
