My 15-years-old daughter has been complaining of headaches and was found to have high blood pressure. Isn’t she too young to have high blood pressure?
High blood pressure is much less common in children and adolescents than in adults but it does occur. In younger people it is important to look for an underlying cause such as kidney disease, narrowing of important arteries and other conditions which are causing “secondary high blood pressure”. I well remember a young nurse who told me that her doctor was treating her with high blood pressure pills. I encouraged her to have someone look for an underlying cause. She was found to have a narrowing of the main artery to one of her kidneys. The narrowing was repaired at operation and she has had no problem with her blood pressure since.
Measuring blood pressure in children and adolescents can be tricky. If one uses an arm cuff that is too small for the patient’s arm, a false high value can be obtained. Also, at any age, if one is nervous then blood pressure goes up moderately.
I think your daughter should have her blood pressure checked again and if it is still high, she should see a specialist to arrange tests looking for an underlying cause.

When the pressure of the blood that is exerted against the walls of the blood vessels after and during every heart beat is lower than normal, you have low blood pressure. This can result in insufficient blood flow to the important body organs like the heart and the brain. And this can lead to various low blood pressure symptoms.
