I have isolated diastolic hypertension ?? how to treat that ??
Dec 21, 2014

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics

A single elevated blood pressure reading does NOT imply that you have hypertension; in order to make such a diagnosis, the blood pressure needs to be measured on 3 different occasions in 3 different settings, and you must not have had coffee or tobacco nor should you have exercised within the 30 minute period that has preceded the blood pressure measurement. Please make sure such measurement is done by an experienced health care professional to ensure accurate reading.
