Often , I noticed my diatolic prssure looked higher than normal as 121/109,129/111, 130/110. I have been taking Norvasc 10mg in every mornings and take 2~ capsules of Altace 10mg at bedtime. Without meds for 1 month , my bp made aveaged as 161/111 77.... no chest pain ... Once a while , my heart beat was heavy beating ~ breathed ok . no pain . I felt that my heart needs to be relax and slow beatings . Any idea? Yes, my family runs hypertension . no diabetic.

∙ 12y agoThe diastolic blood pressure number or the bottom number indicates the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats.
A normal diastolic blood pressure number is 80 or less. A diastolic blood pressure between 80 and 89 is normal but higher than ideal.
A diastolic blood pressure number of 90 or higher is considered to be hypertension or high blood pressure.

∙ 14y agoIt means your heart sends blood through the arteries at a higher pressure than it needs to.

∙ 11y agowhen diastolic pressure is high the small vessels are hardened, scarred which can leads to organ damage, heart failure or stroke.

∙ 13y agoit cannot be higher
diastolic is the pressure when the heart is relaxed
if it's higher, you are an alien

Normal range for diastolic and systolic blood preassure diastolic 110 for systolic 71?
The systolic number is always higher than the diastolic number. 120 or lower for systolic number and 80 or lower for diastolic is in normal range. If diastolic is high, say 95 after running - is ita high? and if what should one do?
Why does any increase in the heart rate affect diastolic time more than systolic time?
You have long diastolic time as compared to systolic time. So diastolic time is more compromised than systolic time.
Is blood pressure the pressure of blood in the arteries?
Yes, blood pressure is a measure of the pressure exerted on your arterial walls as the heart pumps blood throughout the body (systolic) over the pressure when your heart is relaxed (diastolic).
What is more dangerous high diastolic or high systolic?
Having a high systolic bp is more dangerous than high diastolic bp.
The difference between systolic and diastolic pressures?
Systolic BP should always be higher than diastolic BP.The number on the top is the systolic blood pressure and the number on the bottom is the diastolic blood pressure. The systolic BP is the pressure in the arteries right when the blood is pumped out of the heart, therefore the pressure is bigger. The diastolic BP is the pressure in the arteries after the blood has been pumped out and before the next heart contraction. At this moment, the heart is relaxed and the pressure is much lower.
What is a good blood pressure reading?
A good blood pressure reading for the average person is Less than 120 for the systolic (top) number and less than 80 for the diastolic (bottom) number). Blood pressures between 140-150 systolic and 90-99 diastolic are considered to be Stage 1 high blood pressure. A systolic reading of 160 or higher and a diastolic of 100 or higher is considered to be Stage 2 High Blood Pressure. Higher numbers than those are considered to be a crisis and can be life threatening.
What is good systolic pressure?
The systolic pressure is always stated first and the diastolic pressure second. For example: 122/76 (122 over 76); systolic = 122, diastolic = 76. Blood pressure of less than 140 over 90 is considered a normal reading for adults. A systolic pressure of 130 to 139 or a diastolic pressure of 85 to 89 needs to be watched carefully. A blood pressure reading equal to or greater than 140 (systolic) over 90 (diastolic) is considered elevated (high).
What is is hypertension?
High Blood Pressure "Hyper" is High "Hypo" is Low Tension is Blood Pressure Hyper would be anything over 150 systolic and 90 diastolic Hypo would be anything lower than 100 systolic top number systolic, bottom diastolic
What is the hypertension?
High Blood Pressure "Hyper" is High "Hypo" is Low Tension is Blood Pressure Hyper would be anything over 150 systolic and 90 diastolic Hypo would be anything lower than 100 systolic top number systolic, bottom diastolic
Can systolic blood pressure equal blood pressure diaslotic?
This is impossible. Systolic pressure is the pressure in the artery during the heart contractions. Diastolic pressure is during heart relaxation. Picture this, and you'd see that it's impossible to have diastolic pressure equal or greater than systolic pressure.
What is more problematic to have persistent elevations in systolic or diastolic blood pressure?
A high Diastolic is more dangerous than a proportionate rise in Systolic blood pressure.
Is rise in diastolic blood pressure is more dangerous than rise in systolic blood pressure?
yes
