Dr. Burton in his article mentions children being helped with this patch also.  
So I don't know what to think.

  When my Mom was in the hospital for her heart, she wore the nitroglyercine 
patch.
  One night her blood pressure dropped so low, they rushed her to ICU.  But 
they also took the patch off saying it lowers the BP.  I would be afraid of 
anything so drastic with a child when there are other more natural measures.

  Just my 2 cents.
