Hypertension Stages

Hypertension management made simple 👇

🟡 Elevated BP (120–129 / <80) → Lifestyle modifications

🟠 Stage 1 HTN (130–139 / 80–89) → Lifestyle ± 1 medication → Start meds if DM, CKD, ASCVD, or risk >10%

🔴 Stage 2 HTN (≥140 / ≥90) → Lifestyle + 1–2 medications → 2 drugs if ≥20/10 above target

Small changes. Big impact. Lower BP = Lower CV risk.
