Hi @sevdale, your agent is correct. Don't worry, hindi magiging cause ng visa rejection yung hypertension. As long as mapakita nyo na controllable sya which is through the doctor's certificate and yung prescriptions ng maintenance drug nya and result ng ibang lab test. Dalhin nyo sya on your medical schedule. Meron kayong kaparehong case sa expatforum.com. Husband naman nya yung hypertensive and since may certification kay doctor na controllable, naapprove naman visa nila. 🙂
God bless! Balitaan mo kami. See you in AU! 🙂
<blockquote rel="sevdale">Hi to all! I my 175 application on June 29, 2011. I was already notified to proceed with police clearance and medicals last March 20. Police Clearance (NBI) were already secured. I scheduled our medicals last Mar20, however, hindi kami natuloy kasi natakot ako dahil consistent na mataas ang BP ni misis (140/100) at hindi talaga bumababa dun. What we did was nagpaconsult na lang muna kami that day sa Manila Doctors. The doctor said that my wife is hypertensive indeed and binigyan siya ng maintenance drug for 2 weeks and was advised to go on diet and exercise. Pina-further lab test ko na rin sya (Creatinine, Lipid profile, cholesterol etc) and the results will be evaluated by the doctor today.
Nakausap ko na rin agent ko about the situation and told me na we don't have to worry about the hypertension of my wife coz it won't affect the decision on my visa. Ang tinitingnan lang daw sa medical are HIV, TB and Hepa. Hypertension daw is acceptable so long as may maintenance drugs ka nang iniinom.
Any inputs from you guys will be highly appreciated.. Thanks in advance!</blockquote>
