Required Hypertension Reports:
If you are taking any blood pressure medications, you will need to have your treating physician write a report. If your doctor will write a letter on your behalf, please provide him or her with the "Hypertension Protocol" so that a proper report can be generated. Please note that it MUST be typed! Handwritten letters are not acceptable!
If your doctor is not inclined to write a formal report, it may be in your best interests to simply print off the appropriate worksheet and have your doctor fill it out. Please make sure that the writing is legible, that it is dated, has your name on it, that the address is included, and that the doctor signs it.
Make sure you bring the correct worksheet to your physician. If this is the first time you are disclosing blood pressure treatment to the FAA, then please use the "Initial HTN" worksheet. Be aware that you will need to provide some routine lab work and an ECG. If you have reported this to the FAA before, then please have your doctor fill out the "HTN Follow-Up" worksheet.
