	Perhaps someone can help me.
I have high blood  pressure and is controlled by medication.      3 years ago I was due to fly on a routine international trip that I had taken many times before.   The day before the trip I had a 24 blood pressure monitor fitted for the day.    It recorded my pressure at 230/150 with medication.
My Doctor advised me that it may be a life threatening risk to fly the next day as my pressure could go higher.
As soon as I cancelled my blood pressure went back to normal.    I haven’t flown since.
Can anyone advise me what to do to stop my blood pressure rising before flying.
