Hypertension is classified into stages based on systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels. Normal is 120/80 mmHg, while elevated is 120–129 systolic and 80 diastolic. Stage 1 hypertension ranges from 130–139/80–89 mmHg, and Stage 2 is 140+/90+ mmHg. A hypertensive crisis is a medical emergency with BP ≥180/120 mmHg, requiring immediate treatment.
