How Can Hypertension Be Controlled?

My daughter is 8yrs old. and she has been having regular nose bleeds out of the blue. A test performed at her school informed us that she has high blood pressure. Is there a way we can change her diet to lower the activity. Her father has sleep apnea, I have seizures and there is a family history of high blood pressure. Any information you can give will be greatly appreciated.

Hi There

After going through you query I understand your concern.

I would like to tell you that Epistaxis( nose bleed ) among children is very common and generally managed at home if minor bleeds by direct compression of the nasal alae for 5 to 10 minutes and frequent nose bleeds require administration of vasoconstrictor nose drops, cautery, topical sealants or glue, nasal packing, or balloon catheters.

If your child has epistaxis with another symptoms like, headache, fatigue, dizziness growth failure etc then she needs further evaluation.

Kindly consult with a Pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

Hope to have been helpful.

Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Bansal
