Why can't a doctor get my diastolic pressure to decrease?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
He can: There are many medications that can reduce the diastolic blood pressure. A combination of several of them might be needed but it should be possible to lower the pressure. Of course, if you are on several medications, you are more likely to get side effects. So the problem is lowering it without intolerable side effects.
