I had high blood pressure 3 months ago. My doctor laid it out for me. I came home started eating healthy and in 3 months lost 37 lbs. My blood pressure has changed but I am concerned that the bottom number is high??? I bought a tester and this morning it is 115/95 what has happened??
Hi, Good to know, you have brought your blood pressure under control. There is one possibility, I would consider-Is the instrument accurately calibrated.- check blood pressure of few other people and repeat it to test accuracy. Studies have shown that diastolic blood pressure is often overestimated. However, if it is really 95, nothing to worry. Recent data shows, no increased risk to heart due to pressure up to 95. There is a small possibility in future of developing systolic hypertension too. You can try low salt intake, avoiding alcohol, maintaining weight, no smoking and exercising regularly. Any further queries, happy to help again.
