Class 1 or 2 medical?
Until CASA get their ducks in a row at Aviation Medical Branch, I would suggest you ring Dr Arthur Pape DAME in Geelong Vic for advice.
You may remember him, as he, who sorted out the colour blind pilot to their great advantage.
"Controlled" hypertension is not hypertension as I see it.

Ahh there you go. I have a history of it in the fam so I had to ask the question on my last medical (as he had in the past told me mine was 'elevated'). But like I said, there's no restrictions on taking drugs to control it and in turn, keeping your medical. I'm sure if I am wrong someone will quickly let me know!
