Easily Check Your Blood Pressure Readings Against the JNC 7* Classification
If the two blood pressure measurements (systolic, diastolic) fall into separate categories,
your level is classified in the higher of the two categories. For example, a Stage 2 systolic
reading, but a diastolic pressure reading in the normal range.

Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure National Institute of Health (NIH)

IMPORTANT:
●
Do not be alarmed by temporarily high or low readings because fluctuations in a
person's blood pressure are not uncommon. If possible, measure and record your
blood pressure at the same time every day, and consult your physician if you have
questions or concerns.
●
If abnormal variations in blood pressure are observed in measurement, please consult
your physician.
