Hi doctor, A few days back, I was measuring BP using electronic BP monitor on my 11 year old kid. I observed irregular heartbeat symbol blinking after measurement, and that got me worried. I measured eight times again in the last two days and got IHB symbol for around 4 out of 8 times. His average BP reading is 120/77 mmHg, and pulse rate is 98. Is this normal for a child of this age? We have had regular visits with our physician in the past, and he did not observe anything during his earlier checkups. Only, he was asked to do more physical exercise as his BP was marginally high at 125/85 mmHg.
