104 means the heart is not relaxing between pumps. need a thallium treadmill test to check out heart blood flow. cut back on red meat. see a doc. to do a electrocardiogram.
my systolic pressure is 124 and my diastolic pressure us 114. why is the diastolic so high? . my blood pressure up until recently has been good all my life. i'm 48 overweight (about 60 pounds) don't exercise and eat what i want most of time under a lot of work/home stress. bp runs like 110-120/60-70. pain does seem to affect it some which is what i'm experiencing now with some feet issues but this is the first time i have seen the bottom number go up and not the top. and not this much. has my luck run out? my last reading was 120/104. what could that bottom number mean?
