Quoting JAR FCL part 3..
"When the blood pressure at examination
consistently exceeds 160 mmHg systolic and/or
95 mmHg diastolic, with or without treatment, the
applicant shall be assessed as unfit."

I take medication for high BP myself and as long as it stays below 160/95 then there are no probs. I was having about 165/90 until I started medication, but now is around 145/80.

The hearing standards are given in the link below
