Low diastolic pressure, lightheadedness and flushed
My husband is a don't complain type of man. Lately, he has been complaining of feeling bad, flushed feeling as he calls it with some lightheadeness. I tried to get him to go to doctor but he says hes ok. I went a purchased a blood pressure kit. His diastolic is consistanly low between 49 and 54. He is 48. His systolic pressure runs around 120-115 with a pulse average of 63. Is there anything I need to keep my eye on or should I insist that he go to a doctor?
A related discussion, Diastolic pretty low at times was started.
oh yeah I forgot. Thanks so much for your time and attention.
Sugartown,
thanks for the post.
A blood pressure is only a component of a full medical history and physical. The fact that your husband is having new symptoms, especially since he is a 'no complain' kind of person means he really should be seen by a medical provider. There are a lot of causes of his type of symptoms beyond blood pressure.
I would encourage you to recommend this to him.
good luck
