Blood pressure is measured using two numbers:

The first number, called systolic blood pressure, measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats.

The second number, called diastolic blood pressure, measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart rests between beats.

if you only have high diastolic blood pressure, you can’t target that alone. You’ll need to work closely with your doctor to reduce your diastolic blood pressure while not letting it drop lower than 60 millimeters of mercury (mmHg).

Diastolic blood pressure that’s too low can lead to heart damage and may increase your risk for heart disease. A high diastolic blood pressure (80 mm Hg or higher) that stays high over time means you have high blood pressure, or hypertension, even when systolic blood pressure is normal. Causes of diastolic high blood pressure include both lifestyle factors, diet and genetics, but the disease is multifactorial.

You need to clean out your arteries, remove plaque and calcification, strengthen the heart, and reduce LDL cholesterol to bring your blood pressure down.
