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.
Doudou, who is only 8 years old this year, always shouts headaches for no reason, and his parents take him to the hospital for examination, and he is frightened after learning the reason.
After the doctor's examination, the headache of Doudou did not have symptoms of fever, cough, obvious vomiting, and the body type was relatively fat, and the doctor first measured a blood pressure from a child from the perspective of differential diagnosis, and measured a blood pressure for him, when the blood pressure was 150 to 100.
Director of pediatrics, Taizhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine - Wang Aizhen:
Headaches are often the first and most common symptoms of high blood pressure, and beanie headaches have a lot to do with high blood pressure.
Dr. Wang Aizhen reminded that long-term excessive amounts of fried food, high-sugar and high-salt food, the child's health is not good, children should be encouraged from an early age to eat more fruits and vegetables, especially those with a family history of hypertension, parents should control their children's diet.
Children's hypertension is often hidden, on the road to growth, parents should always pay attention to the child's physical changes, once found that the child has suspicious hypertension, should go to the regular hospital as soon as possible to check, in order to carry out early, standardized, individualized treatment.
