Hello,

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms your diastolic blood pressure values are a little elevated. These changes in blood pressure values could be related to thyroid gland dysfunction.

For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:
- Thyroid hormone levels
- Complete Blood Count for anemia
- Blood electrolytes for any possible electrolyte imbalance
- Kidney and liver function tests

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

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
