Yes, it is in the link you posted in your OP.

I note that you are intending to go and do the training the modular route, I take it that means that you want a Class 1 at some point. I would strongly suggest that you go for an initial Class 1 before you spend any money on ground school, training etc, as the assessment for the Class 1 includes things like an ECG which is not part of the initial Class 2 examination if you are under 40.

You want to make sure that all is OK and that Class 1 is achievable and that your BP is well managed and sorted out, including the relevant investigations which both from an aeromedical as well as a clinical perspective make sense.

Anyone with hypertension at a young age (and 36 is young in this context!) needs to have a proper workup to exclude underlying treatable causes of high blood pressure.

Good luck!
