mostly because of renal( kindly) , send us kub , UCE , moniter the BP daily 2 to 3 time
Who has recommended to check his blood pressure? and why?
is it done by a qualified doctor using the correct BP measuring apparatus?
if is done by a doctor, did they not tell you about it?
If it is a genuinely checked reading, then it is high. There are many reasons for high BP in children.
My advice is to consult a qualified Paediatrician (Child specialist) so that a detailed history and clinical examination may be carried out. if the Child specialist decides that the BP is high, then they should carry out different tests (like urine, blood, ultrasound etc) to look for the underlying cause.
102/147 it mean diastolic bp raised systoli is in normal range so do ultrasound kub uce .and please let us know complete history
