Blood pressure readings

[Unregistered]

What if on your FAA mandated physical for special issuance, the three blood pressure readings are higher than acceptable but the blood pressure readings during your nuclear stress test were fine and both were taken without the use of your medication? Could they ask me for more blood pressure readings or just deny me? Everything else came back great.

If you are in this borderline situation, and already getting a cardiac eval, why the h_LL would you resist doing the ONLY thin preventing you from becomine Rose Kennedy- stroked out, wheelchair bound.....sheesh. Hypertension is PART of cardiac disease.

Why Aren't you on the meds? Think you're just gonna die cleanly and go away? Good God, man, they are PREVENTATIVE!
