What to do if your child has high blood pressure:

During puberty, the body's organ systems develop rapidly, including the heart, and the heart's contractility is greatly improved. However, blood vessel development often lags behind the heart, leading to increased blood pressure. In addition, the increase in hormone secretion during puberty, the increased excitability of the nervous system, and the imbalance in autonomic nervous system regulation can also cause high blood pressure. At the same time, under certain circumstances, the high mental tension can lead to dysfunction of the cerebral cortex and loss of normal regulation of the subcortical vasomotor center, which can increase the tension of the arterioles and also increase blood pressure.

After puberty, the cardiovascular system develops rapidly and reaches equilibrium, and blood pressure usually returns to normal. If blood pressure continues to rise for a long period of time, further examination is needed and antihypertensive drugs should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. First of all, parents should try their best to maintain their children's stable emotions; secondly, the patient should have a regular life, ensure sufficient sleep time, and not stay up late; the diet should be scientific and reasonable, eat less fatty meat and high-cholesterol foods such as animal oil, fish roe, etc., and eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, milk and other foods; in addition, participate in physical exercise for at least half an hour every day, but the exercise should not be too intense.

The above is a detailed introduction to what to do if a child has high blood pressure. When improving a child’s high blood pressure, you can completely follow the above methods. The child must exercise in moderation and cannot choose some strenuous exercise, otherwise it will make the child with high blood pressure feel dizzy. This should be noted.
