Can I get life insurance if I have high blood pressure?

Yes, most people with high blood pressure (hypertension) can get life insurance, though your premium may be higher than average. Insurers look at how well-controlled your blood pressure is, whether you are on medication, and whether you have any related conditions like heart disease or kidney problems. If your blood pressure is well-managed with medication and your other health markers are good, you may still qualify for a standard or even preferred rate.
