Jae Pak, MD · Answer

The decision to proceed with surgery is between you and your doctor.  In general, high blood pressure should not be an issue if your blood pressure is well controlled.  Please inform your doctor.

First, is 140 the "top" or systolic number, if so, that is barely "high".  If that is the "bottom" or "diastolic", then you need to see your primary care doctor, and I mean DOCTOR, yesterday!
Your choice of provider is most important.  Find a physician doing hair transplants in your area.  People tend to "shop" around for prices more than for proper medical providers.  I'm not saying you do this, but in general.  Remember, hair transplantation is a "medical" procedure, involving medications and risks and very nice rewards.
The proper medical evaluation and montioring will easily make hair transplantation possible for you.  
So, carry on if you are 140/over something.  But if you are "something"/over 140, well that's serious and needs treatment before anything is done, and I mean anything.
