Donitta,
Yes 148/92 is too high of a blood pressure for a 5 year old. The syptoms he is having are not neccessarily because of his blood pressure but could be. You need to take your son to a pediatritian. A pediatritian specializes in children's illness and would be a better route than a general physician.
