This Service to check you blood pressure reading and to tell you what it mean.
Blood pressure is the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your arteries. It’s measured using two numbers: systolic pressure (the top number), which measures pressure when the heart beats, and diastolic pressure (the bottom number), which measures pressure when the heart rests between beats. A healthy blood pressure helps ensure your heart, brain, and other organs receive the oxygen and nutrients they need.
This calculator estimates your blood pressure category based on the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. You’ll enter your age, sex, blood pressure reading (systolic and diastolic), and heart rate. The tool compares your input with age-specific healthy ranges and provides feedback such as "normal", "elevated", or "high" blood pressure.
Normal blood pressure values vary by age and sex, especially in children and adolescents. That’s why the calculator uses pediatric-specific guidelines for users under 18, and adult standards for older users. By considering your age and sex, it gives more personalized and accurate results.
Blood pressure naturally changes as we grow older. Children and teens generally have lower blood pressure than adults. In young kids, readings like 95/60 mmHg might be completely normal, while in adults, anything below 90/60 mmHg could be considered low. As we age, our arteries stiffen, which can raise systolic pressure even if diastolic remains steady. That’s why this calculator tailors its evaluation based on your age group—whether you’re a child, teen, or adult—to give the most accurate classification.
According to the AHA, blood pressure is categorized into the following stages:
- Normal: Less than 120/80 mmHg
- Elevated: Systolic between 120–129 and diastolic less than 80
- Hypertension Stage 1: Systolic 130–139 or diastolic 80–89
- Hypertension Stage 2: Systolic ≥140 or diastolic ≥90
- Hypertensive Crisis: Systolic over 180 and/or diastolic over 120 — seek emergency care
The calculator compares your reading with these levels to classify your result and help you understand where you stand.
Pulse pressure (PP) is the difference between your systolic and diastolic pressure (e.g., 120 – 80 = 40 mmHg). A normal PP ranges from 30 to 50 mmHg. A high PP might indicate stiff arteries or cardiovascular stress, while a very low PP could suggest poor heart function. This tool also calculates and highlights your PP to give deeper insight into your cardiovascular health.
