    As long as your BP is under control, there shouldnt be a problem. During your physical, you have to list all the meds you are taking. The doctor reviews them. Then he will discuss with you.

    i take one (not that one) no problem you will just get a 1 year not a two year card and btw you COULD still get a two year card but most companies will not let you have a two year card if your on bp meds but by the fmcas's own reg's you can have a two year card when on bp meds...
