No, you may not. A voluntary resignation or quitting from a job that you were able to do, even for reasons of high blood pressure, is still a voluntary resignation or quitting, and makes you ineligible for unemployment insurance benefits. You can't receive unemployment when you voluntarily leave a job, even for good reasons.
