Really strange about this B/P predictions.
I was borderline B/P with a reading of 140 over 95.
I reduced my smoking, drink much less now and it has come down quite a bit.
One of the things my FAA doctor told me that if I did not reduce this one day during exercising or stress that it would push me over the limit, maybe with a stroke etc.
He wanted to place me on medication which I refused.
My pressure is down to normal now after being high for years.
I reduced my smoking and alcohol, I also add garlic to my food.
be careful what these doctors tell you, if I had listened to mine I would have been on medication for the rest of my life.
You know your own body, if some of these doctors wont listen, find another one, they are a dime a dozen.
I have found some doctors that think that its there job to keep you from flying, where others if you are borderline really help you to get back to a healthy status.
Bottom line its your best interest to remain healthy, s good AME will do this, a bad one, just walk out and go elsewhere.
Find one that really wants to help improve your health, not end your flying career.
