Should A Cardiologist Be Consulted For Low Diastolic Blood Pressure Levels?
My BP is pretty much normal on the top number but the bottom number has been low...around 55. It gets lower after I first wake up and take a reading...it does not change much by eating or drinking....pulse ranges around 68 on average. I had 2 stents placed about 2 years ago and also have 2 valves leaking..one moderately and one moderately severe. Should I be making appointment with heart doctor or are readings like 109/55, 98/54, 103/57 okay.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Low diastolic blood pressure is a risk factor to develop coronary heart disease or myocardial injury.
So you can once again consult your doctor, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care.
