Presently no change in your diet, .
The lower presume reading is higher for your age, should be less than 85. However because there are no risk factors
1) cut salt in your diet completely, less than 3gms for the whole day. It is the reason why your diastolic pressure is high
2) try some exercise, 30 mins of brisk walking atleast 5 times a day
Many a times the lower pressure particularly is missing diagnosed by the electronic machine, do get it verified by a doctor.
