Patient's question:
My nephew is quite chubby, and recently he was even diagnosed with high blood pressure. What could be causing the child's high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Hypertension is a common chronic disease. When adolescents experience hypertension again, they should first undergo a timely and thorough physical examination to rule out secondary hypertension. If no significant abnormalities are observed, it may be caused by primary hypertension due to factors such as obesity. It is necessary to receive timely antihypertensive treatment under the guidance of a specialist doctor, while also following a dietary plan.
