More than 120 over 80 and less than 140 over 90 (120/80-140/90): You have a normal blood pressure reading but it is a little higher than it should be, and you should try to lower it. Make healthy changes to your lifestyle. 140 over 90 (140/90) or higher (over a number of weeks): You may have high blood pressure (hypertension).
