Default High Blood Pressue VA Rating

Retiring from the USAF and getting all my VA claim info in. Starting at AA this fall. My blood pressure is below FAA Class 1 max, been consistent, and have had my class 1 for over a year. Anybody have experience getting a hypertension rating from the VA and had issues with the FAA? The VA rating numbers are well below the FAA limit. I don't want to jepoardize my next career and also don't want to hide anything from the FAA.

Yes I know I need to get my crap together, but I have always ran kinda high, even as a fit 25 year old. (42 now)

Searched the forum and didn't get a real clear answer. My current AME is not great about getting back to me via phone calls/emails.

Thanks for any insights you can provide!
