High Blood Pressure in Medical test

[Farmir]

I passed my medical exam. Got my visa too.
I was asked to do ecg test. My heart rate was irregular and blood pressure was high

right, so you mean although your heart rate was irregular and your blood pressure was high, you could pass the exam and they didnt reject you? Thanks

Assume you mean 150/90. It will be up to IRCC if you are required to do further medical testing. You may have just had a “white coat effect” and been nervous about the appointment which raised your BP. Unless you have had elevated BP for a long period of time there is no reason your kidney function has decreased. It may have decreased for other reasons as well. Until you know your results there is not much you can do. Nothing you can do but wait and see what happens. If your BP is consistently that high you should really be taking medication and addressing lifestyle factors that lead to an increased BP. You could decrease your BP by losing weight, changing your diet, quitting smoking, being more active,etc. Medication would also decrease your BP to a level that doesn’t cause your body damage while you work on the lifestyle issues.

Right, thank you for your response. It is almost 19 days that I have done my medical, and clinic confirmed that they have already submitted the results to IRCC about 6 days ago. I do not have any express entry profile yet, and it was an upfront medical exam, do you think since I have not received any call from neither clinic and IRCC so far regarding further tests, it would be a sign that there was not any problem in my medical tests?

What you had done ?

Did you tell doctor about your BP medication or you had hide ?

Hey I also have the same question and I have Hypertension and I am on medication my personal doctor says that by taking medications the bp will be controlled and then u can go for medical, Is it ok to go for medical there won't be any issue right?

 

[jaineel dharia]

can share my experience with medical -
I went for the test and my BP was way high, I guess I had slightly high BP but was not taking medicine, during the test, it was 180/100.
The doctor was nice and took multiple readings in intervals of 2 weeks, all reading was high. At that point, he submits my report and asks me to check the insurance
Later panel doctor's office calls me and asks me to see a specialist. with a set of instructions for specialists.
The cardio doctor took an echocardiogram and submit his finding which in my case was all okay, only issue was I had BP
The specialist asked me to take BP medicine and ask me to come after 1 week, he took my reading again and my BP was 115/80.
He updates his finding in the sheet, cleared me, recommended me to lose weight, I had BMI 29, age 36.
SUbmitted the sheet to cic through panel doctor. Medical got cleared after 15 days.
in short two think is important
- if you have high BP, make sure you are taking medication and your BP is control
- during echocardiogram your EF is > 55 and doesn't have any heart issues.
CIC will not refuse if you have any issues as long as it within the limit.

Hey I also have the same question and I have Hypertension and I am on medication my personal doctor says that by taking medications the bp will be controlled and then u can go for medical, Is it ok to go for medical there won't be any issue right?

Hello everyone Jaineel this side,
I would like to post this as there are many people concerned about this issue and few months a ago I too had same questions about it and came across this forum where people shared their concerns about this issue and read how people had undergone their medical for Canadian student visa. I am here to share my story and experience, hoping it would answer some of your questions and would help you out in this manner. Quick information about me- I am Jaineel and I am going to pursue my masters in Applied Computer Science at University of Windsor for January 2022 intake.

I got acceptance from my university and was about to commence my visa filing for my student permit, and had decided to go for an up front medical examination before my visa submission. I reside in Hyderabad and had decided to take my medical examination at GYD diagnostics. I was quite tensed and booked my medical for 22nd of July 2021, I heard Canadian immigration is very strict with health stats and also the medicals were getting a lot of delays to be updated in your ircc due to the ongoing pandemic making the situation further worse. On 13th of July I decided to visit my local doctor just for regular health check-up so that I could be relieved before my actual medical, the doctor checked my blood pressure and told me its pretty high (180/100) and told me to go on immediate medications so that it can be controlled and he prescribed me for few tests just to confirm that the high blood pressure did not cause any alarming issues to my heart or other body parts. On the next day morning I went for those checkups and by evening I got the results and was very satisfied that due to high BP there was no effect to my other body parts and it concluded that I inherited BP problem from my family and due to obesity. I started taking medicines and was relieved that those medicines would help me control it and just before the day of my medical I once again went for BP check up and it measured out to be (140/90) and told me nothing to worry about it as medications were working fine. Here comes the day of my medicals and I reached the diagnostic centre for my medicals, the procedure was standard as everyone has and then went for normal checkup and my BP came out to be 160/90 and they told me not to panic and send me to the panel physician as everyone goes. I entered the panel physician cabin and he told me about my high blood pressure and then I showed him the prescription and test reports given by my local doctor, the doctor was very friendly and told me to nothing to worry and advised me to work on my fitness and take the medicines properly, due to high BP he just advised me to take an extra test along with all the standard test required for student visa and that test was advanced ECG. Later on I came out of the cabin and gave all the test along with the ECG too and also submitted the Xerox copies of my reports from local doctor too, in the end I left the medical centre and they told me if they have any extra tests or queries they will contact me in 24-48 hours and also told me not to worry if they don't call me within 2 days then consider ur medical has been submitted to IRCC. I was quite relieved and happy as I didn't relieve any call from their end. Later, on 4th of August I submitted my visa and updated my e-medical in the account, fortunately by god's grace on 25th of August my medical was updated in my CIC account and it stated that I had passed my medical, seeing that message made me come over here and share my story with all the students concerned about this issue.
Having High BP is not an issue to be worried about until or unless it has some serious consequences, I highly suggest to take ur medications on time and work on your daily-routine and fitness to overcome this issue. I hope my story helps you out with some of your questions and If there any other questions please comment here and I would be happy to help. As I had my family members and friends supporting me in this situation, I don't want anyone here with this issue to be left out and have no one to share this issue with. In the end, I really appreciate ur patience to ready out my story and share urs too if it can help others. Hope everyone here gets their visa soon and has a successful life ahead in Canada.

You will not get a refusal because of BP up or down.

We just did our medicals & my spouse BP was 185 and the Dr. raised an alarm saying it's extremely high. It's beginning to get me worried sort of. Every other thing is normal except for the high BP. My trust & faith is in God at this point.
