Is it bad when your diastolic blood pressure is 58 and should be 80?
The diastolic blood pressure is considered low when the blood pressure reading is below 60. If the diastolic pressure is too low, the blood is not able to bring oxygen to all the body's cells and remove waste matter. This can cause the cells to die.

About Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the vessels. Blood pressure is determined by the heart’s output and resistance to blood flow in the vessels. If either of these factors changes and there are no compensating changes, blood pressure will change.Blood pressure is a good measure of the health of a person's heart and blood vessels. Higher than normal blood pressure is called hypertension.
