Can someone with stage 2 hypertension be employed?

Patient's question:

My body has always been quite poor, and recently I've been experiencing frequent palpitations and dizziness. After a thorough examination, I found that my blood pressure is a bit high. I'm currently taking medication and wanted to ask if having stage 2 hypertension disqualifies me from being employed?

Doctor's answer:

The issue of secondary hypertension upon employment depends on the specific company and cannot be generalized. Most companies do not have strict requirements. Patients who experience recurrent symptoms should first cooperate with treatment, control their own blood pressure, and avoid disrupting their normal lives. Regular exercise, reducing intake of animal fats and greasy foods, and maintaining a light diet based on vegetables and fruits are helpful in alleviating the condition.
