Diving and High blood pressure
Boo!

I've got high blood pressure and the doc has proscribed medication, so Diving is curtailed until my BP is back to a reasonable level. The question is though will I be able to dive whilst on BP Meds? A brief Google seems to suggest that controled BP is not an issue, but I was sondeign if anyone has any experience of BSAC medical referees opinions on the matter.

I'm also going on a diet to try and contribute to the BP reduction, but there are no garuntees in that direction apparently
