" my daughter who is 16 was just diagnosed with left ventricular hypertrophy due to high blood pressure and bilateral renal artery stenosis. She was also told she has a innosent heart murmer that is nothing to worry about. We don't know much about this yet. She will see a kidney specialist tomorrow. When she was around 5 or 6 she had high blood pressure sometimes and they ran some test and finally decided it was only high because she was nervous about going to the doctor. This time she had chest pains, shortness of breath , headaches , dizziness , and double vision. "
