Hi, Iam a SWCAH and  will be 34 next week. The high B.P is not only with little kids. I am on  florinef 0.1mg 4tabs a day and Dexa 0.5mg 2 1/2 tabs a day. I have had high B.P on this dose for the last 2years but also my job as a Chef means my B.P at times can be high. Just a question what is everybodies readings?  Mine is 130/70 lying down and 120/70 standing. Readings can also be raised with excess weight on the body. Also STRESS, Potassium and Sodium levels can play apart in B.P readings. I am on extra Potassium 600mg 4tabs a day and also on Somac 40mg twice a day for ulcer and hernia.  Meds do play a big part in blood pressure readings.

Major thing is to not WORRY it is all part of growing up with SWCAH.

Stay healthy, Stay strong

luv Jayne
