My 14 y o may have high blood pressure!. The doc she will have to wait to get tested!. What can I do for her until then!? Her gets red alot, she feels light headed, like she has a fever HOT!. The doc said that she has yeast infection and she will have to get better from that first!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
How long does she have to wait for and why!?!

I'm no way qualified to give medical advice, but definitely get some antibiotics to treat the yeast infection!. Then you can rule out from there!.

Also, how is her overall health!? Is she overweight or sedentary!? My husband has high blood pressure and him just knocking out all sodas really helped lower it!. Lots, lots of water, fruits, veggies may help (especially with the lightheadeness) as well as some moderate exercise!. I figure you're daughter already lives this way, but just wanted to point it out!.

Has she had any other comprehensive exam to rule out allergies (like to gluten or certain foods)!? It could be something else!.

Good luck, hope all goes well!.

That's very interesting!. Blood pressure is measured by putting a cuff around the arm and LISTENING to the flow of blood!. You can test blood pressure at home (many people with high blood pressure do)!. Many pharmacies have automatic blood pressure meters that you can use!.

There are blood test that can be done for cholesterol and certain hormones that contribute to blood pressure, like ADH!.

To me, not "testing for blood pressure" is so counter intuitive, it just doesn't make sense!. Call the doctor's office and make sure this was what was said, because this really does not make sense!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

At the least - she should reduce her salt intake!. Salt and water follow each other in the body!. When there is increased salt in the body the water that follows causes the volume of blood to increase!.

Blood pressure can vary depending on how much volume of blood there is and how small/large the blood vessels are!.

This is very basic but hope it helps!.
