Is 150 over 95 high blood pressure?

Yes, 150/95 mmHg is generally considered high blood pressure (hypertension). Normal blood pressure is usually considered to be less than 120/80 mmHg. Blood pressure readings between 120/80 mmHg and 140/90 mmHg are considered to be elevated or prehypertension. Readings of 140/90 mmHg or higher are considered to be high blood pressure or hypertension.

However, it's important to note that blood pressure can vary throughout the day and can be affected by factors such as stress, activity, and medication. If you have a single high blood pressure reading, it's generally recommended to have it confirmed with additional readings over time to determine if you have sustained hypertension.

If you have high blood pressure, it's important to talk to your doctor about it as it can increase your risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and other health problems. Your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and reducing stress, to help manage your blood pressure. In some cases, medication may also be necessary.
