Hi,
Hypertension is passed to children if they have the same risk factors as obesity, sedentary lifestyle, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking etc.
Even in these cases, children of hypertensive may or may not be hypertensive. Otherwise, the child may develop high BP after 35 yrs age if he is to develop it. Sweating is no sign of high BP.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
