Patient's question:
My friend's child is 12 years old this year and hasn't finished school yet. Yesterday, the school conducted a health check, and the teacher called my friend saying that my friend's child had abnormal blood pressure, reaching as high as 150. How should this be treated? She is slightly overweight, bordering on being considered "slightly chubby," and doesn't like to be active. What is the reason for this child's high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Obesity can lead to a decrease in blood pressure. It is recommended to take the baby to a local regular hospital or a regular institution's cardiology department for a urinalysis, detailed examination of the kidneys and heart through color Doppler ultrasound, a head CT scan, and a chest and abdominal aorta CTA scan to facilitate early diagnosis, identify the cause of hypertension, and then implement targeted treatment. In daily life, maintain a light diet, ensure sufficient deep sleep, and try to relax your mood. If the baby feels uncomfortable, avoid using too much antihypertensive medication. Instead, you can take Changhong Panax Notoginseng Powder, which can be taken with warm water to help lower blood pressure.
