Due to go to Disney land Paris in July
I have been told I have slight high bp though they are thinking it's anexity of going to the docs that makes it high my partner also has high bp

Is it safe to fly with high bp that's being investigated?
Did ask his doc today but got no definate answer

I've had high bp for 20 years, I've been on medication since then to control it.

I've never heard anything about not flying, and I have flown dozens of times since the diagnosis, including long haul.

I would double check with another GP though if you haven't been prescribed medication before you go.

I'm still under investigation as to why it's high but nothing about it seems to be concering the docs and as for partner he has just moved to my practice and this is the first time the docs are investigating his high bp

I take it it's safe to fly even though none of us are on tabs for high bp

Blood pressure readings at the doctors might give false high readings. You need to wear a 24 hr monitor to get “ proper “ readings.
