Hi,

Please let me know if you are obese, have any risk factors like diabetes, or if you are smoking. You have isolated diastolic hypertension, which needs to be treated. Best treatment for BP is lifestyle modification like avoid fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly thrice a day for one week then once or twice a week.

Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity at 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Have lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
