For those with HTN how long did you have to be diagnosed with it to qualify for surgery (ie you had it for a month) How were you "diagnosed"? If I go to my GP and have 140/100 one time does that qualify? And how do I need to prove to my surgeon/insurance company that I have it (does your GP have to write a letter etc)
I'm curious because I've never been actually diagnosed, but my blood pressure tends to run a little high. And I may need HTN to qualify.
