A member asked:
What is an ideal number for diastolic pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Less than 80 mmHg: Ideal is less than 80 mmhg and perhaps higher than 50 mmhg, would watch between 80 and 90 mmhg, keep to a low salt diet and try to exercise at least three times a week to ward off higher numbers; if higher than 90 mmhg, would seek medical attention.
