Hi. If i have high blood pressure, what is the probability that the company will reject me?

Depends on what job you’re doing. Eg. If you’re applying for a PMET role, I don’t think so. If you’re applying to be a fighter pilot, yes.

Non-fasting - how many hours after food? The examining doctor should indicate that it’s a job-fasting sample. Apart from the raised heart rate (because you’re likely a little anxious), the rest of the readings are ok.

A non fasting post-prandial sample of 8.4mmol/l does not indicate diabetes.

About 1.5 hours after food. But actually my health check letter doesn't stated that i must fasting.

I think mine should be fine but what i more worried is panic attack and cause my bp skyrocket.

There’s a simple way to get past that. Take home monitoring BP measurements and record them down over 1 week (buy one of those automatic BP machines) - and show your doctor.

Hi, i just get pregnant about 4 weeks and get a job offer from bank. They ask for pre-employment medical checkup. Is there any possibilities that they will decline the job offer if i’m pregnant? The position i applied for is customer service.

That's illegal (at least in Singapore) - i.e. termination or rescinding a job offer on the sole basis of the female employee being pregnant (congratulations, by the way). HOWEVER, employers can use other sneaky methods to achieve the same goal - and MOM can't do shit about it. For example, claiming that your job performance is poor, or you couldn't meet your KPIs.

Good luck!
