Hey thanks for the great writeup. I'm certainly trying to go the diet/exercise route right now. I check my BP reguarly with a home monitor. A typical reading for me is 130/80 with a pulse of around 75. That isn't too bad, but when I'm at the doctors it often goes up to 160/80 with a pulse close to 90. After a retake, however, it went down to 130/78.

Just bring the letter the FAA wants from your Doctor and the Blood test (if on a diuretic). Fixing the BP now will save you a heart attack or stroke, which will make your medical go bye bye.
