When the heart is at rest, we have diastolic blood pressure. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), if the blood pressure readings in adults are between 140/90 mmHg - 159/95 mmHg, it is considered as limit hypertension. If the blood pressure reading is over 160/95 mmHg, it is officially considered high blood pressure. Grades of high blood pressure include:High blood pressure grade 1 (mild): Blood pressure readings from 140/90 mmHg - 159/95 mmHg; High blood pressure grade 2 (moderate): Blood pressure readings from 160/95 mmHg - 179/100 mmHg; Grade 3 (severe) high blood pressure: a blood pressure reading of 180/100 mmHg or higher.
