Good morning So I just wanted to share a little good news.

My 16 year old has aortic root dilation and HCM and has been on Losartan 25mg for just over a month now and two different BP readings at home have shown BP at 102/69.

I hope I'm right in my understanding this is really good and in the normal range

I did sleep ao much better last night🙂

Absolutely excellent figures. Anything below 120/80 is very good. And on only 25mg.

Thanks for the update.

Hello,

I suggest you discuss the BP readings with a healthcare professional.

The normal BP readings for children and adolescents is slightly different to adults.
