I have had a high diastolic for the past 7 years. My typical readings are 132/96 or 136/101. Currently I am on 25mg of HCTZ and just put on low dose Bystolic. My readings at home are 110/85. I been on every med combo and stil cant get the bottom number down.

How old are you honey? The old line thinking used to be that the bottom number HAD to be under 80. That has changed. My diastolic is always in the 80's (on meds) and my doctor told me it is just fine. You could try exercise (30 mins a day) cutting out salt losing weight...but I'm not sure if you're already doing those things. 110/85 is not going to harm you. It may be the pressure your body exists at...
