Answered by Dr. Bhaskar Semitha
A 16-year-old boy has stage 2 hypertension, a condition where blood pressure is high. Hypertension isn't common at this age, but stress, genes, or unhealthy habits could contribute. Fortunately, he seems otherwise healthy. Reducing salt, exercising regularly, managing stress - these steps can help lower blood pressure. Regular check-ups are crucial too.
