Can high blood pressure keep you from commissioning ?

Hello SFC,
I just wanted to add my two cents in. I am a medic in an AMEDD unit and I am responsible for B/P readings on a daily basis. Essentially what MEDPROS will flag you for is a specific number (right? Imagine that) Anything above 140/90 is considering hypertension and unless you're on medications you will be flagged for this. I can say as a medic I will do everything in my power to be able to get that B/P down below the limits. I've seen a variety of readings, some people just have a normally high blood pressure (typically big and tall males). Also if you "cheat" and put your arm above the B/P reader it can balance out the readings. I hope this helps.

I imagine it might be an issue for wing Warrants, but may not be a problem for walking warrants. Check with the clinc that did your previous physical if possible. They would know the discriminators

Speak to your own physician as I believe if your High BO us controlled with medication you will be able to pass the military physical.
