Patient's question:
Today during the physical examination, I suddenly found that my blood pressure was high.Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, the normal systolic blood pressure for an 8-year-old child should be around 96 mmHg. It is generally considered that if the blood pressure exceeds the normal value by 20 mmHg, it is considered high blood pressure in children. Currently, the child's blood pressure is 130/90, which is still considered high.Advice: Blood pressure is generally affected by many factors. It is recommended that you measure the child's blood pressure again after they have rested quietly for 5 minutes. If the child's blood pressure remains high repeatedly, it is necessary to find the cause of the high blood pressure and consider adding antihypertensive medication.
Doctor's Inquiry: What is the child's weight? Is the child taking any medication? Does the child have any issues with urination?
