Touchdown! Greaser!
Herb, if you haven't had an FAA issueance with hypertension before, the following link is what you'll need:
http://www.faa.gov/avr/aam/Game/Version_2/03amemanual/PROTOCOLS/Hypertension.htm
You'll need a decent looking EKG, Cholesterol/LDL/HDL (fasting), fasting glucose, Potassium and Creatinine levels (this is a check of the kidneys). You'll only need the treadmill test if there's something amiss on the EKG or you get short of breath to say, walking across a Wal-Mart parking lot.
The letter from you family doc has to list your risk factors for coronary disease and state what you can/are doing to modify these.
If you have all the above, any AME can issue in the office.

Pre-takeoff checklist
I had hypertension that developed and had me scared to death about the 3rd class. I ended up going to an AME that does work for one of the big carriers. Heres how it went:
Him: "Oh, I see you marked hypertension, and are taking ..."
me: "yes..."
Him: "Oh... Well, in that case, I'm going to need blah, blah, blah..."
Me: Thump, "here it all is"
Him: "OH! GREAT! No problem! Here's your medical!"
What a relief! I can't stress enough, GET AN AME THAT DOES LOTS OF WORK (not just the "weekend AME"), and bring EVERYTHING they want from the get-go.
No problems!
Good luck!
