Blood Pressure/Medical (longish)
Mx wrote
Hypertension is disqualifying for an aviation medical in the U.S.
Readers of the group should know hypertension is commonly defined as
a blood pressure in excess of 140/90.
The FAA disqualifies those with blood pressures in excess of 155 over
something.
So the universe of those disqualified by the FAA is smaller than the
universe of those who have hypertension.
Mx's comment is a misleading statement of fact.
Again.
