My 9 year old has blood pressure of 134/79 due to medication she is taking. Thr nurse said it is high for her age, but I am just wondering, how high is this and should I be concerned?

Thank you for your reply. She is average height and weight for her age. I'm not sure how long she will be on the meds, but certainly a few more weeks 😣

Grasshopper2000...Certainly, one can understand your concern. A child with bp readings that high just shouldn't be however, at least you have an explanation that the meds are the culprit.While a Nurse is a medical professional, they are NOT doctors. I would strongly encourage you to discuss this situation with your doctor.
