Blood pressure has been classified into five categories according to JACC.
Normal blood pressure < 120/80 mmhg
the pre-hypertensive stage is 120-139/80-89 mmhg
grade 1 (mild ) is 140-159/90-99 mmhg
grade 2 (moderate ) is 160-179/100-109 mmhg
above that range, is severe hypertension.
She falls in prehypertensive stage which ios fully reversible by lifestyle modification.
Ask her to take a brisk walk daily and do exercise for 30 minutes.
