Explanation

"Questionable hypertension" refers to a situation where a person might have high blood pressure, but it's not certain. This could be because the blood pressure readings are inconsistent, sometimes normal and sometimes high. It could also be due to the fact that blood pressure can vary depending on factors like stress or anxiety, so it's hard to be sure if the person has a consistent problem with high blood pressure. This term is used by doctors when they are not yet ready to make a definite diagnosis of hypertension.
