High diastolic blood pressure can be treated with ACEIs, such as enalapril and ramipril, or ARBs, such as valsartan and chlorosartan. Beta-blockers, such as metoprolol, and diuretics, such as hydrochlorothiazide, can also be used as adjunctive therapy. Additionally, control measures should be taken to address the factors that can cause an increase in diastolic blood pressure. Common factors that can cause an increase in diastolic blood pressure include obesity, eating too much salt, not exercising, staying up late, drinking alcohol, and being in a state of stress for a long period of time, all of which can cause an increase in diastolic blood pressure, so active control measures should be taken for these factors as well. There is another condition that can also cause an increase in diastolic blood pressure, that is, when there is cervical spondylosis, the diastolic blood pressure also increases, which is called cervical hypertension. Patients with cervical spondylosis should be actively treated for cervical spondylosis.
