Brief Answer:
Nothing to be done
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Lower bp (diastolic bp) of 55-60 is absolutely normal and there is nothing to worry about it. It is considered low when you have symptoms like giddiness or dizziness.
In that case you should drink some water with salt in it. The salt will help in getting the bp high.
Thanks and take care
