If your blood pressure is 167/64, your diastolic pressure is normal, but your systolic pressure is high (above 110-120). Espe this pattern of high/low pressure reading is called "isolated systolic hypertension" or ISH. Most of this is due to ateriosclerosis or hardening of the arteries, where the vessels lose their ability to stretch. Specific antihypertensive medications such as clonidine are often used to treat this condition.
