I went to a cardiologist for consultation as I have pre employment medical exam.
My BP is always high like 140/90 and above.
He prescribed me Inderal LA 20 two times a day.
So is there any chance that in medical the board will find that I am taking medicine of BP?

Hi. More than the medical board finding out it is important to know whether you have high BP issues and really need medication. One high value, in the office of doctor, for a young person usually is not taken as confirmation. You need proper monitoring and evaluation to see if you truly have BP issues or it was due to some stress. Did you do any tests before you were started on the medication? Is your BP always on higher side, measured in different times at different places?
The Medical board may not find out if you don't disclose. But depending on what job profile your applying for, is your fitness level of utmost importance and can it endanger others life if not optimum (like aviation industry pilot, defence services etc) you should take a conscious call.
Next Steps
Would suggest get a proper evaluation done before your medical Board interview.
