Why is that nearly every single heart question is answered with 'go to the ER' as an answer? If you don't know much about the subject, why do you answer?
Diastolic blood pressure is the measurement of the relaxation phase heart cycle. You did not mention his systolic pressure so I have to assume that was normal or near normal. A normal diastolic measurement is less than 80. At 90 and over we consider it hypertension. I would not consider it an emergency unless it were over 120 or unless the person was symptomatic with the high pressure.
The exhaustion has a long list of causes - anemia, kidney failure, thyroid problems, etc, etc, etc, but I am suspicious for possible congestive failure, valvular incompetence, or even an anginal equivlent.
I would not necessarily recommend this person do anything until this whole matter gets worked up. He/She needs a clearance from his/her doctor before engaging in any significant physical activity.
Regarding your ausculatation information, I presume you are referring to S2 which typically is louder - Lub-DUB - under normal circumstances. Listen to your own heart for comparison. What you may be missing, or not know how to listen for, is a murmur which would be characteristic of a valvular disorder. Also additional sounds S3 or S4 would be helpful to know in this picture. Also listening to lungs for crackles at the lung bases, can be helpful too.
In sum this person's b/p needs to come down with medication. Diuretics are often first line, followed by ACE inhibitors, B-blockers, Calcuim channel blockers, Alpha blockers, nitrates, etc can all be used to address the blood pressure. Focusing on agents that will improve the relaxation phase of the cardiac cycle will be most helpful. Included in that group would be alpha blockers, nitrates, b-blockers, and ACE inhibitors.
This person should see a physician in the next two weeks concerning this matter. Additional workup for the fatigue can be started then too.
Good luck!!!

I don't know the details. Googling diastolic will probably get you a definition. I do know that 100-109 diastolic is too high and mean the person has high blood pressure.
Short term - get to a doctor or even ER, especially if the systolic is above 140.
Long term - get on a diabetic diet (no sugar, only low glycemic carbs, moderate protein and moderate good fat). This will also help the exhaustion and weakness, and lack of brain power. It will also lower the cholesterol and start to lower the blood pressure.
Get checked for Candida infestation (yeast) as that can produce some of the same symptoms - but is likely not the cause of the high diastolic pressure.

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

Considering the information you've given so far, someone, somewhere had to have exmained this person at some point in time. You've already had diastolic pressure (DBP) explained to you, and very well I might add. You cannot help some one if he doesn't want to be helped and you have stated that this person "doesn't like to ready or do anything" (whatever that means) so until this person is prepared to seek and accept help, the most you can do is encourage him...repeatedly. Good luck.

diastolic blood pressure that high is serious. Your heart cannot keep going at this fast rate for too, too long. What is the systolic BP?
Check the BP of the ankles also to see if circulation is OK. Check for swelling, water retention.
Please for the life of this person get the patient to a hospital where the pt. can be properly monitored. Get off answers and call 911.

You should read "The Blood Pressure Solution" (also available in electronic format here: http://www.bloodpressuresolution.pw ) It's a very comprehensive step-by-step book that walks you through the natural remedies of high blood pressure. It provides you with a lot of information on what foods to eat, how you can acquire and prepare these foods, how you can change your lifestyle for the better, how to eliminate the toxins from your body, how to reduce stress, how you can check your blood pressure level the correct way etc.
The book is amazing in that it not only lowers your blood pressure without the help of medications; it also aids you in having a life that is healthy, happier, and less stressful. This book chanced my life.

Please don't worry yourself, K? Diastolic normally runs 60-90, yours is on the border, not to worry. Some very healthy people have BP that run a little low, other could run a little high. Many factors can elevate BP not just being overweight. So, sit back and relax, your alright. Hugs.
