High Blood Pressure - Partner Visa app.
Hi everyone,
I've had a look at some of the threads about high blood pressure but most of them seem to be about how to lower it for the medical.
A family member is applying for a partner visa and at their medical had high blood pressure. After a second visit it was still high, although pulse was normal. Looks like they will refer him to a specialist for further investigation.
Obviously the first thing to establish is whether he is actually ill or has a permanent condition and get it sorted.
But my question is, at 24 (he's not overweight, does not smoke), is this kind of thing likely to result in problems with the visa? If it's a condition which can be treated with medication which controls it - is this acceptable to Australian immigration?
If anyone has some experience with this your comments would be appreciated.
