Is it a good idea to pursue a high stress career such as that of a doctor if you have high blood pressure?

This may be a dumb question, but I want to know.
I am currently interested in becoming a doctor. I know that the road to this career is a stressful one, especially throughout med school. The problem is that when I get too stressed out, my blood pressure increases dramatically. Even though I've been given medicine, I'm starting to have worries that pursuing such a stressful career can be unhealthy for me. Any thoughts?

So what would you think is a nonstressful occupation? The only nonstressful occupation I'm aware of is being dead.

If you do what you like, it isn't bad. If you are doing what you don't like, it's pretty stressful.

Medicine is really changing because lawyers have helped them figure out that a doctor that hasn't slept in days isn't a good doctor. And if you just plain don't want to work crazy hours, you don't need to. I know one doctor who spends most of his time hiking and camping and works just enough to keep himself hiking and camping. It doesn't seem all that stressful to me.

Try testing yourself with pressure, set deadlines to study before you try med school, study a bit now and if you continue to stress i recommend not doing it, but daily life is stressful itself so be careful
also try every diet you can think of, it may help?

There are other careers, such as research scientists which still require you to be smart, but are a lot less stressful
