Medication: There are many medicines which lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Also life style changes such as reducing salt intake, losing weight, and reducing stress can be helpful.

Diastolic pressure: We use the same medicines for systolic and diastolic pressure. Decreasing vascular resistance will lower diastolic pressure, decreasing intravascular volume will decrease diastolic pressure, and other steps...

A member asked:

I suffer from high diastolic pressure which fluctuates between 90 and 99 mmHg. While my systolic is usually between 110-130mmHg. Moreover, my heart will beat 80-95 times per minute. Can I take felodipine and metoprolol succinate together for this?
