Experts link the rise to obesity, processed food, lack of exercise, long screen hours, and high stress.
Cardiologists say early detection in schools could prevent long-term heart and kidney complications, especially since high BP often shows no symptoms.
Doctors emphasise that most cases are lifestyle-related and can be reversed with healthier habits and reduced screen time.
