Yes. Your Diastolic BP of 101 is a cause of concern f that is present persistently. There needs to be check of features of Heart failure (Right heart), which probably will be present in your case. You need to see a pulmonologist and a cardiologist and optimise your treatment for BP and ? Heart failure and Pulmonary Hypertension. A team of specialist working together will be better.
