Many people think that high blood pressure is a "patent" for the elderly, or that at least adults can get high blood pressure, so they neglect to test their children's blood pressure. But in fact, high blood pressure has long been targeted at children, and in recent years, the probability of children suffering from high blood pressure has also increased year by year.
At the pediatric outpatient clinic of Taizhou City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, we learned that The 8-year-old Doudou often has a headache for no reason in recent times.
Wang Aizhen, director of the Pediatric Department of Taizhou City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, introduced: "The headache has no fever, no cough, no obvious vomiting or anything, and the body type is relatively fat, so our doctors from the perspective of differential diagnosis, first from the perspective of whether a child has high blood pressure, he measured a blood pressure, which was 150 to 100 at that time." ”
According to doctors, headache is often the first and most common symptom of hypertension, and the headache of Doudou has a great relationship with high blood pressure.
Wang Aizhen, director of the Department of Pediatrics of Taizhou City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine: "First of all, is not a child obesity caused by hyperlipidemia and high blood sugar, resulting in a high blood pressure This is on the one hand, the second we have to consider the child's hypertension, pay attention to a renal blood vessel, that is, renal artery stenosis, renal artery called renal hypertension." ”
Doctors remind that long-term excessive amounts of fried food, high-sugar and high-salt food, is not good for the child's health, should be encouraged from an early age to eat more fruits and vegetables, especially with a family history of hypertension, parents should control the child's diet.
