High diastolic reading after low BP all my life: Cause for concern?

jaw, you'll want to find out why your diastolic is high. You don't say how high. It can be as simple as increased salt intake, especially if you've been eating out lately, more complex if it is kidney or thyroid trouble. I'd check meds first decongestants, NSAIDS, supplements and of course anything prescriptive. Are you doing anything new?
I hope that it's your blood pressure gadget needing calibration.

Also the highest it's been is 173/106. When it goes to 150, I get an awful headache.

I am on same meds, exercise same time ever day, clean house, cook, and I do eat healthy.
I am not stressed at all, my rule of thumb, if I can't figure it out, let go and let God.
It's just something different. I very seldom go out and eat, if I can do it at home why waste money! LOL
My kidneys and thyroid are fine, and I can't take decongestants, I am beginning to think it's the weather!
I have 2 B/P gizmos and it's the same on both! Just something weird! Doctor always tells me I'm his problem child! I have had cancer 4 times and had to get through the surgeries with Tylenol. I am allergic to pain meds. Thankfully I have a high threshold for pain!
