Bp consistently averages 110/90. how can i lower my diastolic number?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Lifestyle/meds: High diastolic (bottom) number is more typical of hypertension in young people. It causes the heart to work harder than it has to. Regular exercise, weight loss, meditation/mindfulness can lower it, along with dash diet. However, lifestyle changes take time. Every single beat of your heart at diastolic 90 is a strain. Consider starting med then taking it away as lifestyle improves.

Low pulse pressure: Pulse pressure (p) is the difference between the systolic and diastolic pressure readings. It represents the force that the heart generates each time it contracts. Your p's 20. A pulse pressure is considered abnormally low if it is less than 25% of the systolic value, as yours is. You may have a low stroke volume, seen in congestive heart failure. See a cardiologist to find out why your p's low.
