Suggest Treatment For High BP While Having Kawasaki Disease
My son had a KAWASAKI disease when he was 7 and for the past 11 years everything is fine and okay. We see his cardiologist once a year and get Echocardiogram & ECG done as well. This months visit was al ittle different because his BP is higher than normal specially on his right and according to the Doctor his right heart is a little bigger thatn his left. They told us to check his BP every two days and look at the pattern and come and see our GP. Shoudl I be concern?

Welcome to hcm,
All his problems is because of the Kawasaki disease which causes fat deposition in the blood vessels mostly in the bigger arteries which is the reason for the right heart enlargement and high blood pressure more in one side. I advice him to reduce the oily foods and fat items vegetarian diet is adviced. Regularly have anaerobic exercises.
Hope this explains
With regards
