Time for visit: We have standards for blood pressure for children down to as young as 2, although they are sometimes difficult to obtain.(uncooperative kids) a visit to your doc can either confirm or exclude this label. If present, a good work up to find a reason is very important.Reversible metabolic, kidney or heart problems may be involved and early recognition can limit the potential damage they would cause.
