As I said before, my wife has high blood pressure, she was referred to a cardiologist ans she went through all the usual exams and everything was fine as long as she is taking her medicine.

We got our PR couple months latter.

Hello everyone,
I did my upfront medical exam in a different state than the state I live in US. The blood pressure was high (150/110) but the panel physician didn't do ECG or any other additional tests. But, now they are saying I need to see a Cardiologist and get a report from him regarding the high blood pressure and get tests done if recommended by him. Other than that, they can't submit my e-medical. Now my question is:
1. Can I get an appointment from any regular cardiologist or he/she should be a panel physician set by IRCC?
2. What tests are usually done in this case and how much would be the cost in US?
3. Does the cardiologist have to be referred by the panel physician? or any cardiologist is fine?

Think you are missing a number. Your BP is not extremely high. Could be considered just a while coat reaction. It may take up to a month to show up. If you are young and otherwise healthy I wouldn't worry.

Yes it is 140/87

It is actually 1 month since I got AOR. Then status changed to ( we are reviewing your medical results) since one week. So, total is month and week. Is that normal?

Yes normal. I wouldn't worry. You are not the only application. They need to receive from the doctor and then review.

No because I never have high blood pressure before. It went up during the visit only.

Is it something to worry?
No. I got similar case. got checked for high pressure during medical exam and referred to cardiologist. Now I am wondering should I mention it on my LOE while applying E-APR? Just looking for expert opinioin. That's all.
