The range can be different by age / gender.

As a general guide:
• 140/90mmHg or over – you may have high blood pressureMost doctors use 140/90mmHg as the cut off for point for diagnosing high blood pressure (hypertension). This is the point where your risk of serious health problems goes up. They might prescribe medicationsand advise you to make changes to your lifestyle to bring your blood pressure down.• 120/80mmHg up to 140/90mmHg – pre-high blood pressureAlso called high-normal blood pressure. This is not high blood pressure, but it is a little higher than it should be and means you could go on to develop high blood pressure. See how you can make healthy changes to your lifestyle to lower it.

On a blood pressure machine there are 2 sets of numbers, an average blood pressure reading is 140/80. Anything higher than 140 can be classed as high blood pressure.

Your best bet is to check with your doctor. Self-diagnosis is not good enough. And even if you correctly diagnose yourself with high blood pressure without the benefit of going to the doctor, what can you do about it? If it is bad enough to need medication, you will need a prescription. Hence, you need your doctor.
