A member asked:
I get diastolic hypotension only when laying down, around 120/50,could my bp med be dropping just the diastolic too low?

Talk to doc: Talk to your doctor about the wide pulse pressure.Yes blood pressure meds may be affecting th systolic vs diastolic differently.However,if you feel fine with no dizziness ,no excessive fatigue or shortness of breath you are fine and I the blood pressure is good.Talk to your doctor that knows your meds and history and he/she can answer this better.
