What mental image do you get when you think of a child with high blood pressure? Is it an overweight child playing video games? If you answered yes, you need to listen to this important message. Hypertension can strike any child at any age, of any weight. It is not just obese children. Media outlets have caused a lack of concern for parents who do not have overweight children. They have began to think that there is no need for bp screens for their children. Hypertension in children is always tied to obesity by the media. This is not always so. www.bloodpressure4kids.org
