Sigh. 17yr old's blood pressure is still high. Getting labs done now. They're having a hard time sticking him. Glad they checked his B/P before that. haha

They always have a hard time with me, such little veins, last time it took 4 nurses trying.

No. It was normal back in May (when he got stitches removed). And it's always been normal. But at the end of July he got strep and when they checked it that day it was high. So he saw his pediatrician the next day and it was still high. We went back today for follow-up and I thought it would be back to normal. Guess we'll see what the bloodwork and urinalysis shows. I'll know that tomorrow.

High blood pressure and high cholesterol run in my dad's side of the family. I have had cholseterol issues since I was 12. At times I feel like my blood pressure is high but ahve never had to be put on any meds. I'm sure it's just a matter of time though.

Runs in my family too jhen. I had a physical 2 weeks ago, blood pressure and cholesterol were fine, except my good cholesterol was really low. I exercise so not much I can do. My mom said my sister has low good cholesterol too and she runs marathons all the time.

I have to go back at the end of Sept. If ny cholesterol and triglycerides aren't lower I have to go on Meds. I've been eating a little better and finally exercising on a reg basis. I don't really need to lose alot of weight. 5 or 6lbs wouldn't hurt though.
