High Blood Pressure Symptoms

Can I still drive with high blood pressure

High blood pressure has few symptoms, so it.should not affect your ability to drive. However, you should not drive if your medicines cause symptoms which affect your driving ability. If this happens, ask your doctor if he or she can change your medicines to prevent the symptoms.

If you have a licence to drive a large goods vehicle (LGV) or passenger-carrying vehicle (PCV), you will need to tell the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA, Swansea SA99 1TU) if you have uncontrolled high blood pressure or if your medicines cause symptoms which affect your driving ability. You may need to stop driving and apply to renew your licence once your high blood pressure is under control.
