!PEACE! asked:
I went to meps they said my blood pressure was high. They said it was 152/90. I’m 17. So obviously I was DQ’ed. I was really upset since I’ve never been told I had high blood pressure before. I went out and bought myself my own blood pressure monitor. Every time I take it at home it reads normal. I get readings like 115/77. I went to my school nurse the first day I went it read really high but as I go there it goes lower and lower. I’m also getting less nervous to go to her office and get My BP read. My recruiter called back and told me I need 5 blood pressure reading. I told him give me two weeks I can hardly stay calm enough at my nurse. Do you think If i got to my Dr and it reads high that I’m never going to be able to to join again. Also when I get nervous at my school nurse I get a reading like 132/80. does this sound like a waiverable number? Sorry for there questions I’m just concerned because I know my blood pressure is fine and I don’t want this to interfere with my dream of joining the USAF.
