Is a blood pressure of 126-86 hypertension?

A blood pressure of 126/86 mmhg is not high blood pressure, it is in the range of normal high values that need to be taken seriously. Clinically, the pressure of blood flowing through a blood vessel against the vessel wall, that is, the pressure per unit area, is called blood pressure. The blood pressure usually measured is arterial blood pressure, which mainly includes systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse pressure and average arterial pressure. In normal adults, systolic blood pressure is 100-120 mmhg, diastolic blood pressure is 60-80 mmhg, and pulse pressure is 30-40 mmhg. If the average value of blood pressure measured on 3 occasions not on the same day without taking antihypertensive drugs exceeds 140/90mmhg, it is called hypertension. A blood pressure of 126/86mmhg, on the other hand, is not considered high blood pressure but is in the range of normal high values. Intervention can be made through lifestyle, such as obese patients need to reduce weight, quit smoking and limit alcohol in daily life. If the blood pressure increases for many days in a row, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time for treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
