Can systolic and diastolic readings be too close?

Can systolic and diastolic readings be too close? Can your pulse pressure be too low? Mine every now and then can be less than 20 between the two readings . . . I am really worried. I am 33 with four amazing girls who I need to be here for. The last month I have had big issues with palpitations, exhaustion, high Bp, tight chest etc. The doctors have said it's a mix of a previously diagnosed svt (I am on 2.5mg bisoprolol for) and a high stress response due to a traumatic event that happened at the same time. . . But I have felt so unwell I am worried. I have had some bloods and ecgs which came back good. I am just worried they are missing something and the close readings are a problem? Thank you in advance . . .
