High Blood Pressure

It has been awhile since I have posted. We are still struggling everyday. Trevor has an appointment with a physiatrist in April and I am hoping for big things! In the meantime,  things are about the same. Trevor has been in a lot of pain and has swelling in his joints. Especially his back,  shoulders,  neck,  feet, and knees.
Trevor's pediatrician has been watching his blood pressure for about 6 months now. He finally decided to put him on meds. He is going on Lisinoprel 10 mg.  This is so sad to me. I just can't imagine a 16 year old on blood pressure medication!  The doctor feels it is because the amount of passing he is in. I hope that one day he will be able to go off of it but my fear is that he never will. Trevor is 5'9" 153 lbs.  His BMI is 22.  He is not overweight. They have checked his heart and it is fine. High blood pressure runs in our family but not at 16 years old! But we keep fighting,  keep learning,  and keep hope! Until next time...
