Can a person with High Blood Pressure be elgible for Disability?
G asked:
I have been working my same job for 25yrs. It requires a lot of mental power. I work with doctors, nurses, ect. I have been on blood pressure medication for 3yrs. My boss has me working by myself on a 3 person job. My Doctor and co-workers are telling me that if it gets to much for me, I am elgible for disability. I am married with 1 son. I exercise and take my medication. The medication can cause kidney problems.

Where i live high blood pressure alone never makes someone eligible for disability pay unless there’s a specific illness causing it. But it may be different in the states. In which case, i can’t really help you.

Blood Pressure will damage your kidneys, liver and heart. Blood Pressure and Diabetes are 2 silent killers. In some countries like Middle East “Uncontrollable Blood Pressure” is eligible for disability and even deportation of expatriate workers.
Good News is that wether or not you die from Blood Pressure is largely in your hands.
1. Stop Smoking if you do. No Chewing Tobacco.
2. Eat a Fat Free, High Fibre, Low Salt Diet
3. Morning Aerobic Exercises: Brisk Walking, Cycling, Swimming, No Weights Please. 10 minutes Warm Up, 45-60 Minutes Aerobic Cardio Vascular Exercise, 10 Minutes Cool Down.
4. Your Blood Pressure Peaks when you exercise. Good News is that it remains Normal Rest of the day.
5. 15 Minutes Meditation and Paranayam (Yoga) to quiten your “mind chatter”.
6. It is not your boss but your reaction to a stress situation that causes blood pressure. If he is an unreasonable person look for a change of job. If need be tell him that he is ruining your health & you are already looking for a change.
Your Life is more important. You will not be able to work if you die.
Read any book by Dr. Dean Ornish. It costs only USD 6.00/=
Best of luck

Nope, not where I come from either.
If it did, millions of americans would be on disability.
I’ve had HBP for many years. And yes, there are times my job are not good for my health. But as far as the Disability Gods are concerned, you can leave your job and get something less stressful.. (of course that would also be less $$$).
Keep in mind.. disability payments are rarely enough to live on in the real world.

You will get disability only if your Doctor consider you disabled.
Talk to your boss about the stress and how it affecting your health. If that does not work.
You could get a letter from your Doctor explaining that the stress is causing you to get sick.
If that do not work then you can file for workman comp.
In this case you will have to prove that the job cause your illness.
If nothing works, you can always try to find a less stress job.

No! High blood pressure does not make you disabled unless your organs have been severely damaged by this and you are unable to function.
