Radgirl has hit the nail on the head.

Doctors often disagree, which is why it's called medical "opinion."

Your ambulatory bp suggests there is nothing more sinister here, than nerves.

The maximums and minimums are irrelevant here, the average daytime systolic and diastolic readings are key. If someone wanted to argue the toss, which I doubt they would, your average daytime systolic is 3 points over. The AME's have a duty to protect your passengers, and all that are underneath them, but they don't seem to be deliberately in the business of failing pilots.

Enjoy your flying career.

Haven't lookrd at the caa algorithm, here's what I use... http://www.nice.org.uk/nicemedia/liv...6015/56015.pdf
