Am i allowed in the army with high blood pressure?


Question:


Answers:
I would think that you would need to get this problem under control before you could join the army. High blood pressure is a sign of being unfit or having health problems so I would say you need to get fit maybe loose weight then when your blood pressure is lowered ask at the recriutement office what you have asked us.
Depends on how high it is.

You will be checked out in the medical anyways - go for it

Then in Iraq, who cares what your blood pressure will be, everyone's will be sky high
If you really do want to join the army then apply as normal. If accepted in a general way you will then be given a very thorough medical examination. If your BP is too high then you will fail. If it is not too high but just high, then they will let you in but may tell you to lose weight, get fit etc. If you can, buy some 75mg aspirin tablets and take them for a week or so before the medical(1 per day) this will reduce your BP.
