Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

The chest X rays show the possibility of TB changes in upper lobes and this might have been a long time back. Any history of diagnosis and treatment of TB is important.
Your blood pressure needs to be recorded at rest on two separate occasions to see for high blood pressure.
You also need to check your eyesight for any visual acuity disturbances.
