What should I know about blood pressure? What does high diastolic blood pressure mean? What could be the cause of high diastolic blood pressure? Is this a sign of a developing disease? The question is answered by the drug. Paweł Żmuda-Trzebiatowski.
What does high diastolic blood pressure indicate?
Good day. I’ve been feeling unwell for the last few days. I am generally unwell, irritable and have a headache. My wife first thought that the causes of my condition were due to poor blood pressure. And I think she was right, she measured them and it came out 130/100. We measured them several more times over two days and diastolic pressure It didn’t go below 100. To be honest, I was a bit scared.
The proper level of potassium in the diet has a positive effect on the regulation of blood pressure. You can deliver it to the body along with the dietary supplement Potassium Citrate 99mg.
I am 30 years old and have never had problems with high pressureespecially diastolic. As can be seen from yes high diastolic blood pressure? I am a generally healthy eater, I run sometimes, I am not overweight. I only like to eat and drink well with my friends at the weekend (especially whiskey). Could alcohol be the cause of such high diastolic blood pressure? Or maybe some serious disease is secretly developing in my body? I’ve had some stressful situations at work lately, but could that have caused such a high build-up of pressure?
I have an appointment to see the doctor tomorrow. But should I take any medications to lower my diastolic blood pressure at this point? I am asking for advice.

The doctor explains the causes of high diastolic blood pressure
Dear sir, I would like to reassure you at the outset. With the pressure values you have given, no sudden pressure reduction is needed. A value exceeding 160/100 mm Hg would be a worrying situation, in this case taking the drug should be considered.
You are a young, health conscious person. Your blood vessels are springy and probably unchanged by atherosclerotic plaques. In young people with diastolic pressure exceeding 90 mm Hg, we can talk about isolated diastolic hypertension, related to the elasticity of blood vessels. With age, the arteries become stiff and less elastic, and the diastolic pressure value decreases.
If you still have too high blood pressure, drink regularly ON PRESSURE – herbal-fruit tea, which you can buy at a favorable price at Medonet Market.
Regarding the risk of developing cardiovascular complications from hypertension, I have good news for you. The most important is the systolic pressure and the pulse pressure, i.e. the difference between the systolic and diastolic pressure. These two values are predictive of value in determining cardiovascular risk. Assuming that you are a healthy person, not burdened with cardiovascular diseases or concomitant diseases such as diabetes or hyperlipidemia, there will be no need to start blood pressure lowering treatment.
Of course, you have to go to your family doctor who will order the appropriate tests and possibly direct you further. During the diagnosis, the attending physician will have to exclude the so-called secondary hypertension, i.e. a state where increased blood pressure results from a specific disease, for example, renal failure, hyperthyroidism or aortic stenosis. In such situations, it is necessary to perform, among others, ultrasound doppler of the kidney vessels, echocardiography of the heart or measurement of the concentration of thyroid hormones.

Most often, however, it is not possible to find the cause of hypertension and then the diagnosis of idiopathic arterial hypertension is made. As I mentioned above, there are no indications to start the treatment immediately, but the attending physician will decide about it.
