What number of stage of Hypertension you will give to this numbers 152/84 ?
Hypertension used to be defined differently, and the fact that that's so means that really you just have to look at the person and various aspects of their constitution and lifestyle and make up your mind for yourself, based on that. In this reading, the odd thing is the unusually large gap between the systolic and diastolic. The diastolic is fine, the fact there's a big gap is good, but by old-fashioned reckoning, the systolic is quite high, although you'd expect that for someone who was fifty or sixty years old or above with the kind of lifestyle found among affluent white people in a Western society. Maybe look for something like renal involvement? Not too much to worry about though, in an adult anyway.
