When hypertension is treated, we aim for an optimal systolic number less than 120; unfortunately, diastolic pressure often drops below 60 in individual with isolated systolic hypertension, i.e. systolic pressure above 140 or higher but diastolic pressure below 80 before treatment, so we have to accept a decent drop in diastolic pressure. Your mean pressure is still above 80 so you are fine.
