Try to do some relaxation exercises. Being relaxed and not stressed will also help in lowering both the systolic and the diastolic.

If like me you are getting on in years then this rise and your response to the drug is good. I would be happy with the diastolic numbers both readings vary over a day I personally would not worry.

Not what you're looking for?
