: For your age, systolic pressure above 90 is not low. Young people usually have a relatively high diastolic number, i.e. the pulse pressure (the difference between systolic and diastolic number) is usually low (narrow) and that is a good thing, especially you are asymptomatic. You should not take extra salt for that.

A member asked:

Could BP meds lower an isolated diastolic HBP at a range of 95 and 100 without lowering the systolic BP too much and cause systolic hypotension? especially when I'm asleep since it already gets down to 110/70 till 100/60 without being on meds.
