What Are The Immediate Risks Of Low Diastolic?
My mother is on kidney dialysis and she also has the flu right now. She just got get flu shot last week. I took her blood pressure and it is normally a little high even with her blood pressure medicine. Tonight it was 109/48. What are the immediate risks since her diastolic is so low.

Hi,
There is nothing to worry about her diastolic pressure. It is not dangerous and it will cause no harm.
In her case you should pay attention on only her systolic blood pressure.
Wishing a good health to your mother
