Xyzee: Hello house,

I'm a very regular poster in this section but am so worried.

I started looking for job since January and it appears God is about to give me one in a good bank when after all the interviews I was called for medicals.

During Medicals, my BP rose to 155/81 and the doctor rechecked, this time even rising higher to 150/100. I did some other blood, urine, HIV and general body tests. Can I be disqualified because of this high blood pressure?

Moderator, please help me to the front page. Thank you.

XYZEE, i see you tried to contact me. I just sent a message to your google email.

Then you should be fine (I guess)..

Do you have a history though?! That would be the deciding factor. If yes, then I cant tell, if no, then you should be fine..
. What do u mean by 'HISTORY' COS AM SURE ITS NOT A GENETIC PROBLEM. WHATEVER BANKN JOBS CAN EVEN GIVE U HIGH BP, RELAX AND TAE A PERSONAL EVALUATION IN ANOTHER CLINIC. BY D WAY SO MANY BRANCHES HAVE KITS AND U CHECK URSELF BEFORE EVEN STARTN D SAY'S JOB. U ARE EMPLOYED JOOR. LOL.

HISTORY

Is she hypertensive?!

Is it a normal occurence for her blood pressure to be high?!



It has nothing to do with genetics..

Yes. It will. But, God can see you through. Read up the interviews tips on our website. Build your self confidence and have faith.
Judinho59: Definitely!!!

Actually, I don't think the result is that bad as it doesn't yet require medication but you should watch what you eat because you probably have mild stage hypertension. I think stress made your result jump higher the second time around but your first result was still high. The first time might have been exacerbated by caffeine, lack of sleep, foods etc.

Mild Stage
140-160 / 90-100 mmHg

Moderate stage
160-180 / 100-110

Severe stage
180-210 / 110-120

You don die but still walking stage
210-230 / 120-140

*Disclaimer - I no be doctor o... you should be talking to a doctor.

If they would be employing you as a marketer, I advice you quit.
Re: Can High Blood Pressure Screen Me Out?? by Alamutatalo: 7:23pm On Dec 20, 2012
Medical test is not meant to screen potential employess,it's meant to give your employer an idea of your health status for your file.Ur medical report is considered before decisions are made on issues like relocating and change of functions.HBP will not stop ur employment,infact even HIV cannot stop ur being employed cos no organization worth it's name wants to be seen as dicriminating.Relax and try to watch ur diet and take things easy.
Re: Can High Blood Pressure Screen Me Out?? by idupaul: 7:57pm On Dec 20, 2012
A systolic of one 151 and a dystolic 81 is clearly a case of anxiety and is even medically considered with the range of a perfect rate.. U are clearly tensed by the prospect of what if I am not employed .. U are not hypertensive my friend

Depending on the nature of the job though i doubt it would be as a standard. Your blood pressure being high could be associated with a myriad of conditions from anxiety,to systemic conditions like high cholesterol level to tumours and even kidney problems,but take note a one off high blood pressure doesnt make you to be hypertensive( there is what you call essential hypertension) so relax my guy and take good care of your health. Let me share an experience i went for a job interview though its in the medical line and mt bp was 170/100 and i knew it was as a result of the stress i have been through in the last couple of months but i was made toi undergo all the necessary test from chilesterol to urinalysis,ECG,ultra sound scan and all came out well but meanwhile i was given the job,started work self before i did this additional test and am still there and my bp is normal
Re: Can High Blood Pressure Screen Me Out?? by Adebeeyee(m): 8:46pm On Dec 20, 2012
Op, i was employed and have been working in a bank since 2009 despite the fact that my BP was high when i went for medicals. You will be employed but will be advised on how to manage it.

Guy honestly I will just tell you to calm down. When I read your post, it immediately reminded me of the exact carbon copy of the same experience which I also had. Wen I was called foe medicals by the bank I was told my BP was high and immediately began to panic. But at last I was granted my offer letter. This is my 5th year there. Don't let it bother you. Its just for their records and not as a means to disqualify you. However try and get medical assistance to get dat BP down bro.

Its very unlikely that they will disqualify you for having an elevated blood pressure. They will assess your other test results to ensure there's no auto immune disease of life threatening condition causing your blood pressure to rise. Something as simple blood and urine tests can tell so much about your state of health. As a matter of fact, should you even be HIV positive, an employer should under no circumstance deny you employment for 80-90% of jobs

Even,giving a target when u eventually get job can worsen the high bp.Almost 80percent of these bank workers are hypertensive.

You didn't indicate your age. Age alone plays a role in pre-determining your ideal blood pressure range.
