A member asked:

What's recommendation if my diastolic blood pressure is high (80-90) but systolic blood pressure is normal (115-125)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Since you have : Hypertension i would prefer your blood pressure be in systolic range of 90 to 120 and diastolic of under 75. This can be done by maximizing your medications and also exercise and dietary changes that result in weight loss. Good luck.
