prehypertensive
Borderline elevated pressure
Prehypertensive describes blood pressure that is elevated but not yet high enough to qualify as hypertension—typically readings between 120-139 systolic or 80-89 diastolic.
The term identifies a warning zone: Her doctor said she was prehypertensive and should watch her salt intake.
Someone in this category is also called a prehypertensive.
