bp in teen

My 16 year old son has just been diagnosed with high blood pressure. The dr. wants to put him on hyzaar. He's been running a 140/78 bp for about 2 years now on and off. Does anyone have any info regarding teens and high blood pressure. I only hear about it in adults. Please write back. Thanks.
