Should I pursue a career in air traffic control if high blood pressure runs in my family?

airforcewolf16 asked:


Both of my parents have high blood pressure before they were 50 and I was wondering if this will play a factor in my career choice. I have fine blood pressure right now (I’m 22) but I am worried that I might develop it later on in life and get kicked out of a good career. Should I do this and does the FAA allow you to take high blood pressure medication?
