A member asked:

My bp has been around 120/105 is it okay that my dia. has been high for a week, or do i need to talk to cardiologist about different meds?

Artifact: It's doubtful that your BP is accurately measured - it would mean you only have a 15 point pulse pressure: highly unlikely. Check your BP with a different cuff - a friend's or at your doctor's office, firehouse, or walmart.

Thank

BP: If your diastolic is staying at 105 it needs evaluation and perhaps additional treatment, see your dr.

Dr Werner and another doctor agreed
