What Does BP Of 96/52 For 5 Year Old With Excess Weight Indicate?
My 5 yrd old who is 66 pounds and 51 inches tall had an exam at school Friday, they said he is extremely overweight, bc his bmi is 18.19. But what bothers me most is his blood pressure was recorded at 96/52 which is low for his height and weight according to charts. Should I be worried and have him see his primary?
