In a way: That BP is high, and needs to be followed up and if it stays high, it will need treatment.

Essential Hypertens: Yes. Of course. An elevated diastolic reading is actually more worrisome than the other way around. Essential hypertension is often seen in families and has a genetic component. I would follow the advise of your physician.

Agree, but: How many readings were taken? Were you sitting down? Legs crossed? Many factors are involved here. If this is a consistent reading, see your health care advisor.M.

IT IS HIGH...: Get it rechecked. If it is still high, go see your doctor. How much caffeine do you have each day?
