Blood Pressure

I have recently obtained a Class 1 Medical from the CAA at Gatwick. The Doctor issued the medical but said my BP was slightly high and that I should keep an eye on it. I went to my GP and got a 24 hr BPM fitted, the results were quite high - I am being referred to a cardiologist.

I am due to start training soon and would like some advice as to the CAA medical requirements. What is the maximum allowable BP to still be able to hold a Class 1 Medical?

If my blood pressure is high but can be brought back within limits by medication, will I still pass the Class 1 Medical?

I just dont want to pay a lot of money for a license that gets revoked in no time. Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks
