Hypertension: Understanding the 4 Stages and How to Protect Your Heart Health

High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is known as the “silent killer” because it often shows no symptoms until serious damage occurs. Knowing the stages of hypertension helps you take action early and protect your heart, brain, and kidneys.

Stage 1: Normal Blood Pressure

• Systolic: below 120 mmHg   • Diastolic: below 80 mmHg Keep up healthy habits—balanced diet, regular exercise, and routine monitoring.

Stage 2: Elevated Blood Pressure

• Systolic: 120–129 mmHg   • Diastolic: below 80 mmHg This is a warning stage. Limit sodium intake and increase physical activity to avoid progression.

Stage 3: Hypertension Stage 1

• Systolic: 130–139 mmHg   • Diastolic: 80–89 mmHg Lifestyle changes are essential. Your doctor may recommend regular monitoring with a reliable blood pressure smartwatch like FITVII GT5 Pro Max.

Stage 4: Hypertension Stage 2 & Hypertensive Crisis

• Stage 2: Systolic ≥140 or Diastolic ≥90 mmHg • Crisis: Systolic ≥180 or Diastolic ≥120 mmHg (seek emergency care immediately). Untreated high readings can lead to heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure.

Protect Yourself Daily

• Maintain a heart-healthy diet and reduce salt. • Stay active—at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise weekly. • Track blood pressure at home with accurate devices such as FITVII smartwatches.

Early awareness saves lives. Monitor regularly and consult your physician if numbers rise.
