Please advise me

We have to many drivers out there today with the same issue.
They had heart attacks on the road and went on leave and they are now back to work. I don't see this to be a problem at all, however I am not a recruiter or Doctor so I can't promise you. I can say we have drivers with the same medical condition as you!

 

If you need some information on the medical qualifications of drivers,go to FMCSA website,type in391.41.Srcoll down to (b)(4).Hit on medical advisory criteria.This will show information on whether you are qualified or not with cardio vascular problems.If your doctor issues a standard two year medical card,he or she has determined you to be in good health to drive a CMV.If the doctor issues you a one year card,this won't disqualify you,but it means you have health issues that need to be addressed.If your doctor issues a three month card,the issues on your health need to addressed and corrected rather quickly or you will be disqualified to drive.If the underlying reason for your bypass surgery was corrected and you regained your good health then there should no reason for being denied a medical card.Your medical information is between you and your doctor.Your employer needs only to see an up to date card,not your medical records ,by law.However,your future employer may have some questions for you if you have less than a two year card.Keep it simple when discussing this with them.Less is sometimes better except when it's your paycheck.Good luck.

 

My hubby has medical problems he only gets a one yr card instead of a 2 yr card. good luck and welcome to the forum

 

Kinda off point but anyone know the upper passing limit for blood sugar? Think lower limit is 60 but cant find upper limit. Thanks

 

90 mg/dl to 130mg/dl before meals
less than 180mg/dl two hours after meals

very low is below 40mg/dl
very high is above 400mg/dl

 

Guess I'll be going to the doctor soon. One Touch meter gave me a 138 this morning. Little high to pass a new physical.

 

Ohiohogrider, after that bypass you're probably in better shape than many drivers out here. Everybody i've ever talked to always told me they felt young again, only some with a little leg pain from vein removal.
