For instance, if you're 5'7 and weighed 280, your BMI would be a point of concern. Or if you had elevated blood pressure. My life insurance came back at the lowest rating despite elevated BMI. Its a reference point but by no means a rating factor. So much misinformation on that...

I have an ENT that I get auto messages from about it, it certainly is annoying. But, my blood pressure is consistently 110-120/65-75. Understand that Dr's use these computerized charts to make information easier accessible and they aren't always as productive as we would all hope. This is one of those flaws
I do have a heart condition,had a stent put in and take BP meds. But the meds keep it all under control(unless Im at the cardiologists office of all places lol)except when I get anxious.

But thats great info,I'm glad you shed some light on it from an insiders perspective,thank you!!
