He'd have a First Class Medical. So you can rest easy: no diabetes, no clinically significant coronary heart disease, and a blood pressure less than 155/95. First Class Medicals are good for 6 months.
Interesting.
Holders of Commercial Driver's license must have BP reading of less than 140/90 for a two year certification.
BP of 140-159/90-99 can only be certified for a maximum of 1 year.
BP of 160-179/100-109 maximum of 3 months.
Being on certain medications automatically restrict your certification. I thought it would be similar for pilots.
