A member asked:
Why does diastolic pressure to up? mine is usually at 67-77 and these past few days its been at like 81-84
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Something as simple as a bag of salty popcorn can do this -- or even a trip to the gym, a slightly bulked arm, and thus a faulty reading. These parameters vary tremendously from minute to minute. Life's too hard already without watching "the numbers.".
