Does high blood pressure affect traveling abroad?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I am currently 45 years old. Recently, when I had a thorough physical examination at the hospital, it was found that I have high blood pressure. I want to apply for immigration procedures recently, so I need to return to my country. I would like to ask the doctor if high blood pressure affects returning to my country?

Doctor's answer:

Going back to the country requires a health check. Except for severe infectious diseases, it is generally possible to return. Therefore, high blood pressure will never affect your ability to return. As long as you can ensure that there are no health issues with your body, or you can carry blood pressure medication with you, that is fine. However, if you have high blood pressure, it is still important to take care of your health. High blood pressure tends to occur more frequently in middle-aged and elderly people, so the older you are, the more attention you should pay to this aspect of health. It is best to return to the country with family support rather than alone, as being alone is not very safe. Having someone nearby means you can mutually support each other in case of any sudden emergencies.
