I'm sure it would but there's no way to get it. The Embassy makes it clear enough on their site. As I wrote to you in the sticky - if it's not obviously manifesting as some kind of horrible pulsating growth on your body and you're otherwise healthy in terms of your vision, hearing, blood pressure and are clear of Hep and AIDS, you shouldn't lose too much sleep over it.

I get the reasoning behind being concerned with worker's blood pressure. After all, any heart attacks become the employer's problem. But how strict can they really be? High blood pressure is almost the rule rather than the exception in the West these days, at least judging from the endless advertisements about it. Presumably, the bar has to be set someone low for who passes in that regard.

Or perhaps not.

Should evidence of sanity and normalcy be enough to debar someone from coming ? I would usually look for at least a few traits of eccentricity.

People have said hypertension leads to visa rejection. Nope. My visa agent said not true. My blood pressure was like 160 over 100 the day I did my medical test. It made no difference. Had forgotten to take meds that day. The visa agent said to send in the form despite high blood pressure and it would make no difference. Got the visa. Visa rejection over hypertension is nonsense.
