When it comes to hypertension, people are often interested in the concept of blood pressure in general but rarely pay attention to each specific blood pressure index. High diastolic blood pressure can also cause dangerous health complications that people should not be subjective.1. High diastolic blood pressure
Blood pressure is determined by two numbers, usually written as a ratio. The first number (or top number) is the systolic blood pressure, the second number (or the bottom number) is the diastolic blood pressure. Diastolic pressure is the force exerted by blood on the artery walls during diastole (when the heart muscle is relaxed), this is the lowest blood pressure level in the blood vessels.There are 3 types of hypertension: systolic hypertension, diastolic hypertension and mixed hypertension. Diastolic hypertension occurs when the bottom number is high, and diastolic hypertension is defined as a diastolic pressure of 90 mmHg or higher. Isolated diastolic hypertension is seen mainly in young adults.
In most people with isolated diastolic hypertension, no specific cause is identified, also known as primary hypertension. In some cases, isolated diastolic hypertension is secondary to another disorder such as thyroid disease, kidney disease, or sleep apnea.
When the diastolic blood pressure is high, the blood vessels will become less elastic, harden and atherosclerotic. Normal diastolic blood pressure usually ranges from 60 to 80 mmHg. If your diastolic blood pressure is 80-89 mmHg, special attention is needed because you already have pre-hypertension. Diastolic pressure usually changes throughout the day. Patients should check their blood pressure several times a day to get an average. Factors that cause fluctuations in diastolic pressure include: nicotine use; stress levels and exercise; posture...

Family history: If you have a parent with high blood pressure, you may also have a higher risk of developing it. Obesity: 1/3 of hypertensive patients are overweight. Overweight adults are twice as likely to develop diastolic hypertension as those of normal weight. Children and adolescents who are obese are at increased risk of developing high blood pressure as they grow older. Obstructive Sleep Apnea: This is a condition whereby breathing stops repeatedly during sleep. Most hypertensive patients have sleep apnea.

It can usually be well controlled with personal and lifestyle changes, although your doctor may also recommend medication.
4. Complications of high diastolic blood pressure
Isolated diastolic hypertension by itself increases the likelihood of serious cardiovascular complications. A study published in the Journal of Hypertension noted that adults with isolated diastolic hypertension were twice as likely to have cardiovascular complications, including heart attack and stroke. or or cardiac death compared with adults with normal blood pressure.5.
