Hypertension Question
#22
Most hypertension medicines are a non-issue to the FAA. In fact, ACE inhibitors are cheap, work very well and protect against heart disease, vascular disease, kidney disease and dementia/Alzheimer's.
Disregard anyone advising you to wait to control this problem. They don't know what they're talking about. Get this under control...NOW...or risk stroke, heart attack, kidney problems, etc.
If treated, you will get/keep your medical under normal issuance and with a minimal amount of extra paperwork/hassle. Follow all the other good diet and exercise advice...but control this now!
