This is probably something that will need to be monitored during the test. If your BP is controlled on meds, you'll probably be fine...but your physician should be able to answer this for you. I don't do fitness tests, per se, but I regularly monitor the BP of clients with a history of hypertension or heart disease who will be doing cardiovascular activity during treatment. Those who are well controlled on meds, I usually only check it the first few sessions if they consistently demonstrate stable readings.

Hi Most of the drugs taken to relieve high blood pressure can also have an effect on the kidneys and how they work. So these tests are carried out to ensure that all is well and the kidneys are working correctley. One thing I found strange is any one that takes these kind of drugs should not have grape fruit juice Regards John
