High blood pressure is no longer just an adult health concern.
Today, hypertension is increasingly being seen in children and adolescents, often without any visible symptoms. Many children may appear completely healthy while underlying blood pressure changes go unnoticed.
Factors such as excess salt intake, low physical activity, obesity, stress, and lifestyle habits can all contribute to rising blood pressure in children.
The good news is that a simple BP check can help identify concerns early and support timely care before long-term complications develop.
If your child is above 3 years of age, especially with high-risk factors, regular monitoring may be worth discussing with your paediatrician.
