A member asked:

Should i take my daughter to the hospital if her bp is 143/88? she's a little overweight and 13 years old.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If looking sickly.: In the US, a young teen girl would have had annual check-ups with a Family Medicine doctor or a Pediatrician each year since age 2 years. She would have gotten annual vaccine updates, plus checks of her height, weight, and blood pressure. A call to her doctor can help solve the blood pressure question. The doctor will likely want to check her in the office. Hospital acute visits are for the sick.
