| Re: High diastolic
I do have the same problem. Doctor told me that systolic will fluctuate in accordance with your emotional state (ie anxiety, stress, etc.). The lower number is of concern because it is less likely to fluctuate and is more likely to remain at a constant level. If your diastiolic is 90 or 100, then the concern would be that it is constantly at 90 or 100 for whatever reason (in your case it may have been excessive sodium). I find that the lower number will fluctuate slightly. At home, I will get a systolic of 140 and a diastolic of 95. Then, I take it again a few minutes later and it will read something like 130/86. Hope this helps! DK
