A member asked:
Normal systolic but high diastolic only on first reading ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Question vague but: When measuring blood pressure (BP) one gets two numbers - systolic is the pressure during the time the heart is contracting and diastolic is during the time it is relaxing. BP is recorded as systolic over diastolic . Diastolic hypertension is when the bottom number is elevated above its normal maximum of 80-90. In younger patients, diastolic hypertension may be related to worrisome outcomes.
