Suggestion Of Advise For Having A Higher Blood Pressure
Hi,
I'm 32 years old and was an athlete 10 years ago. My height is 179cm and 85kg weight.
Less than 2 years, I started cycling, average once/week.
Just go through a medical exam for new hiring, and my blood pressure shoot at 150/100.
Is there any chance this will impact me being rejected to the hiring?

Thank you for asking!
Age of 32 with healthy weight and a good healthy lifestyle is all fit for the hiring. Now this mildly hypertensive of grade 1 needs a little work up. Some times a little exertion can record the bp higher. Re take the measurements and i am sure this hypertension will be ruled out other wise consulting a cardiologist for an antihypertensive management would be advised and that i cant tell you whether it will effect the hiring or not
