Dr. Hiep Le answered

Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

No, high diastolic pressure does not cause high heart rate. You have tachycardia (heart rate above 100) which is abnormal and it could be the side effect of certain anti-hypertensive medication. If you are not taking any medication you should visit a cardiologist for tachycardia. If you are currently taking medication for BP, you medication regimen should be adjusted.
