It doesn't matter to the FAA what your doctor calls something, what matters
is numbers, as in your doctor can say you have high blood pressure but the
only thing the FAA cares about is that it is under 155.

I am not sure that is true; are you? The question on form 2120-0034 is:
"HAVE
YOU EVER IN YOUR LIFE BEEN DIAGNOSED...". You have only two blocks to check
for
each listed condition: "Yes" or "No". If you check "Yes", it is up to your
AME
to resolve to issue as per FAA guidlines, or deny you. My point is that the
thresholds that your doctor uses are subject to change based on current
research, and they are likely not the same thresholds found in FAA
regulations.

Yes, the FAA uses the FAA numbers.

If you were to check yes becuase, for example, your blood pressure was 145,
which most doctors concider "high blood pressure", in the notes you say it
was 145.

The AME in any case is going to take your blood pressure and if it is under
155, that is the end of it.

Suffice it to say, I think the above is very dangerous advice that does not
match my personal experience.
Since I am not about to discuss my own medical past here, this is where it ends.
