ategories for Blood Pressure Levels in Adults (in mmHg, or millimeters of mercury)

Category Systolic
(top number) Diastolic
(bottom number)
Normal Less than 120 And Less than 80
Prehypertension 120–139 Or 80–89
High blood pressure
Stage 1 140–159 Or 90–99
Stage 2 160 or higher Or 100 or higher
Antihypertensive drugs are used if a person’s blood pressure is above 140 (systolic) or 90 (diastolic). There are several different “classes” of blood pressure medication.1 Currently, they include:

Diuretics. Help the body to flush away water and salt2

Calcium Channel Blockers. Relax and widen blood vessels3

ACE Inhibitors. Block hormones that constrict blood vessels4
Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers. Block blood-vessel–constricting hormones5

Beta Blockers. A beta blocker is a medication that slows the heart rate and reduces the force with which the heart muscle contracts, thereby lowering blood pressure. Beta blockers do this by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors, which prevents adrenaline (epinephrine) from stimulating these receptors.6
