Grade 1 dystolic dysfunction bp 124/94
Hi I am 43 yrs old male went for echo cardio test due to complain of chest pain where I was diagnosed with grade 1 dystolic dysfunction and my BP was 124/94 and what I am observing from my daily bp monitoring is my daily bp for systolic pressure is always in the range of 120 to 126 where as my dystolic pressure is always above 90 to 96 max.
I was also having LDL cholesterol above borderline for which I am taking roseday 10mg from past 4 to 5 months.
My question is do I need any medication for my BP ? And is there anything to worry about grade 1 dystolic dysfunction does it progress?
Thanks

BP systolic is normal, diastolic pressure or on the higher side, this is called diastolic blood pressure. You need to aggressively modify your lifestyle by low added salt, aggressive exercise aerobics, avoid addictions if any, practice meditation and yoga. If there are persistent elevation in diastolic pressure you may require addition of antihypertensive medication. Diastolic dysfunction grade 1 can be associated with hypertension. LDL Cholesterol is bad cholesterol and can be lowered with exercise dietary restriction and medications if required.
Next Steps
Monitor regular morning evening BP twice in a week for next 7-8 weeks.
We have to assess whether it is it is what time of hypertension like morning surge or evening surge.
If multiple occasions pressure is remain on the higher side we definitely will start on antihypertensive drugs. If any further questions kindly consult.
