Had my medical for FGW (Conductor) today, seems there may be an issue with my blood pressure. It's not massively high, but it's above average and the nurse hasn't passed me, instead I've been asked to speak to my doctor about it (booked in tomorrow to be checked).
I've never had issues before, last check was 5 weeks ago and everything was normal - I do have a high BMI (40), but I have been losing weight gradually, as work commitments permit.
She checked twice, first time it was 137 over 98, second time was 141 over 101, both with heartbeat at around 92-93bpm.
Question is, does this mean the end of the line for me as a conductor?
