Higher dbp: Any family history of high blood pressure? Usually in young people the diastolic blood pressure is higher than systolic in hypertensive patient. If you do not have a history of HTN i would reccomend you to check it a couple of times per week , if the diastolic BP is higher than 90 you might need 24 h BP monitoring to confirm hypertension.
