If my BP is a bit high is this a first Class 1 failure and if so (I am a bit overweight BMI 29)could I drop my BP down with weight loss. Sorry to get technical but is there a relationship between Weight loss vs Diastolic drop?
For every kg you lose your BP should come down by about 2mmHg.

Good luck
