Do children get high blood pressure?

[shatteredmumsrus]

My 6 year old son goes very red and blotchy after excercising. He is very fit and healthy. Someone told me to get him checked out? Im not convinced. Any advice?

There is a condition known as post-excercise urticaria. I am not sure whether it is of any significance in a sixyear old. I have seen it in adults and it doesn't seem to cause a problem - settles down on its own. I will see if i can find out more - you could try googling it.

Thx im googling right now...

Children can get high blood prssure but from what you describe I don't think it's suggested by your ds's symptoms.

thx i just wanted to say that i had asked other peoples adive to shut the in laws up!
