Well granddaughter was poked, prodded and annoyed by the Drs again today to try and figure out why, since she is over covid and off all medicines, why a normally healthy and active child is still having the elevated blood pressure with a pulse pressure greater than 50 to 60 mm Hg, tachycardia in the 130 to 160 bpm ranges, shortness of breath and what they think are headaches caused by the high blood pressure. So far they have been able to determine there is no noted damage or swelling to her heart or lungs but they still can't explain why she's having these issues. They have had her on monitors and been able to replicate these symptoms by walking short distances, rising to stand from seated position or stepping up and down a few steps and then sitting or laying down. The good news is that when she's resting/limiting her activity her vital signs stay within normal limits. The problem is she's an 11yr old who likes to play softball and wants to do cheerleading this year at school but the Drs are telling us she can't do anything that will cause her to exert herself, no gym class, no sports, basically no strenuous activity at all. She goes back at the end of Oct for another follow-up probably at Levine Childrens Hospital.
