Can high blood pressure be exempt from the physical test?

Patient's question:

I have some high blood pressure, and the school is preparing for physical testing soon. Hello doctor, can high blood pressure be exempt from physical testing?

Doctor's answer:

This condition of high blood pressure reappearing at this age warrants caution regarding the possibility of renal hypertension. It is important to carefully check urine and kidney function. Blood pressure measurements can be half-priced, and you can have your blood pressure tested at a hospital or school clinic. However, before a thorough blood pressure check, it is advisable to rest for about half an hour. Morning measurements are generally more accurate. If further detailed tests are necessary to make a diagnosis, attention should be paid to regulating emotions and diet.
