High Systolic pressure in my 17 yr old son
by Hadley11, Feb 01, 2009 11:27PM
My 17 yr old son has had a high systolic pressure. It has been about 143/66. He is extremely active...playing football, baseball, yoga etc. He works out everyday with his varsity teams and is generally in very good health!! He recently went to a San Diego Charger health clinic with his high school football team and they told him his pressure was high and that his blood sugar was high. (he just told me that today). Could high blood sugar cause this high systolic pressure and should I be worried. Is this something that should be checked right away? I would appreciate any input. Thank you, Hadley

He should be checked for diabetes right away. Diabetes can affect the heart.
