Stay healthy: first the diastolic is high but not extremely high. untreated high blood pressure, could lead to cardiac and kidney problems. your DAD can exercise, lose weight, hydrate very well 6-8 bottles of water a day. no salt diet, eat healthy. monitor BP, still might have to take some medicine, the goal is to keep the BP in healthy level to avoid heart and kidney complication.
