Hypertension 1 blood pressure is?

Stage 1 hypertension is defined by a systolic pressure in the 130–139 range or a diastolic pressure in the 80–89 range. The given reading shows both values falling within those ranges, so it fits Stage 1. For context, higher levels indicate Stage 2 (systolic 140–159 or diastolic 90–99) and a hypertensive crisis is when systolic exceeds 180 or diastolic exceeds 120. An elevated category would be systolic 120–129 with diastolic below 80.
