General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

Most people think of high blood pressure, as a condition that affects older people. But It actually affects people of all ages -- including young children.

As in adults, high blood pressure in children can result in serious, long-term health effects, including heart disease, kidney disease and stroke.

Risk factors for high blood pressure in children include obesity and a family history of high blood pressure.

Other risk factors may include medical problems such as sleep apnea or other sleep disorders. Right now you will have to wait for the results and only the doctor will be able to tell you the exact diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Prabhash Verma, General & Family Physician
