A member asked:

Diastolic pressure of 102 the first time then 89 the second time, why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

BP: Blood pressure is quite dynamic and does vary like that. Automated devices tend to show more variability as some beats can be unsensed. It's advisable to take 3 readings to ensure accuracy.

A member asked:

I suffer from high diastolic pressure which fluctuates between 90 and 99 mmHg. While my systolic is usually between 110-130mmHg. Moreover, my heart will beat 80-95 times per minute. Can I take felodipine and metoprolol succinate together for this?
