Diastolic at around 90 is borderline. I've been running about 135 to 145 / 88 to 92 for several years, with the exercise.
After 6 weeks off the bike, I saw a slow general trend to where the diastolic was always at least in the low 90s, with an averaged reading of about 150/104 a couple of weeks ago, and 150/110 on Thursday, confirmed by the nurses at the blood drive where they deferred me.
I'm 46 and my doctor has not mentioned the PSA test. He said he really doesn't start talking to men about prostate stuff until they're at least 50. So I don't know if it's standard or not.
I was listening to a science show about prostate cancer a few months back, and they said that eventually every male WILL develop prostate cancer, current research is just trying to push that point back to longer than their lifespan.
