Introduction
Low diastolic blood pressure usually causes symptoms such as shortness of breath, dizziness, and impaired reproductive function. Low diastolic pressure reduces blood supply to the coronary arteries, leading to insufficient myocardial perfusion and myocardial ischemia, which manifests as chest tightness and shortness of breath. Treatment may include medications such as salmeterol/fluticasone aerosol or salmeterol/tiotropium powder inhaler, under a doctor's guidance.

1. Shortness of breath
Low diastolic blood pressure can reduce blood supply to the coronary arteries, leading to insufficient myocardial perfusion and myocardial ischemia, which may manifest as chest tightness and shortness of breath. Treatment under a doctor's guidance may include medications such as salmeterol fluticasone aerosol or salmeterol fluticasone powder for inhalation.
2. Dizziness
Low diastolic blood pressure can cause hypoxia, resulting in dizziness. It is recommended to consume more blood-nourishing foods such as red dates and goji berries. In daily life, ensure adequate sleep, avoid staying up late, and eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, and nutritious foods.
3. Impaired reproductive function
Chronically low diastolic blood pressure may lead to amenorrhea in women and erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation in men. It is important to try to prevent this condition and maintain diastolic blood pressure within a normal range.
In addition, persistently low diastolic blood pressure may easily result in inadequate blood supply to vital organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys—particularly causing kidney function impairment. Patients should seek evaluation and treatment at a reputable hospital.
