Hi Any idea how having high blood pressure (treated and under control) would affect life insurance for a mortgage?

In general, blood pressure which is fully under control gets a normal rates premium. This would assume that the medication type had remained constant and unchanged and the readings had returned to normal. The companies will however look into any other associated conditions you may have such as being overweight/diabetes/family history. If you were hospitalised or had any other complications, the company would get a doctors report to investigate further.

This is applicable for normal life term cover. Other cover may be underwritten more harshly depending on what you go for.
