- *Moderate Hypertension*: 160-179/100-109 mmHg
- *Severe Hypertension*: 180 or higher/110 or higher mmHg

*2. Cause:*

- *Primary (Essential) Hypertension*: No identifiable cause
- *Secondary Hypertension*: Caused by an underlying condition or medication

*3. Blood Pressure Category:*

- *Normal Blood Pressure*: Less than 120/80 mmHg
- *Elevated Blood Pressure*: 120-129/80 mmHg
- *Stage 1 Hypertension*: 130-139/80-89 mmHg
- *Stage 2 Hypertension*: 140 or higher/90 or higher mmHg

*4. Target Organ Damage:*

- *Hypertension with Target Organ Damage*: Evidence of damage to organs like the kidneys, heart, or eyes

*5. Associated Conditions:*

- *Hypertension with Diabetes*
- *Hypertension with Kidney Disease*
- *Hypertension with Heart Failure*

*6. Age:*

- *Hypertension in Children and Adolescents*
- *Hypertension in Adults*

There are two types of hypertension:
Primary: High blood pressure that is not related to another medical condition.

Secondary: Another medical condition that causes high blood pressure, usually occurring in the kidneys, arteries, heart, or endocrine system.
Examples: Sleep problems like sleep apnea.

Let's look at the five main blood pressure ranges in more detail and what to do in each case.

Normal: Below 120/80.
Elevated: 120 to 129/Less Than 80.
Stage 1 High Blood Pressure: 130 to 139/80 to 89.
Stage 2 High Blood Pressure: 140 and Above/90 and Above.
Hypertension Crisis: Higher Than 180/Higher Than 120.

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is when the force of blood against the walls of your blood vessels is too high.

Think of it like water flowing through a hose:

- Normal pressure is like a gentle stream.
- Hypertension is like a powerful jet of water that can damage the hose (your blood vessels) over time.

This can lead to serious health problems, such as:

- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Kidney damage

But don't worry! Hypertension can often be managed with:

- Healthy lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, stress reduction)
- Medication (if needed)

So, keep your blood pressure in check and keep your heart healthy!

The straw-colored fluid that forms the top layer is called plasma and forms about 60% of blood. The middle white layer is composed of white blood cells (WBCs) and platelets, and the bottom red layer is the red blood cells (RBCs). These bottom two layers of cells form about 40% of the blood.
