Dot physical

Not entirely sure but I would change your diet to male sure you come in under acceptable levels.

 

I believe its the Dr. digression. i'd get serious about handling the blood pressure issue or it is likely this topic will be the least of your worries.
Be safe..

 

Profile pic looks awfully young to be having those probs.
Get a full physical to make sure there's not an underlying problem.
If you've never had health issues before and are still new to trucking...
It's time to get serious about whatever you're doing. Bad habits out here are really easy to pick up, and harder to kick.
HBP = heart disease= premature death.

Check it out and fix it

You're a youngster !!

 

Not trying to be an asterisk or anything, but 295ish is kinda heavy for 25.
In 10yrs you'll be 400#.
I've seen it happen 1,000 times.
It doesn't happen all at once.. it's a pound here, a pound there... and WHAM... you're in big trouble.

Unless you're 6'8" tall, you need to get serious and drop it or you will be seeing the diabetes symptoms.
IT HAPPENS.

Change the way you eat.
Park in the back of everything and walk.
WALK SOME MORE.
Drink water ONLY.
No sugar.
Easy on the breads, and potatoes, and such because they TURN into sugar.

Eat breakfast.
Eat a lunch.
Eat a dinner.

Always drink a bottle of water before you eat. It'll make you less hungry.

When you get the chance, just MOVE.
Walking is great. It works wonders.

One-year from now you could easily be 210lbs and never felt better not taking ANY meds.

Look around yourself at the drivers that don't take care of themselves and ask yourself if you want that for YOU.

I'm not trying to be a jerk.
I'm just giving guidance to a young driver before it's too late.

YOU CAN DO THIS.

 

Get to your doctor 1-2 months before your next DOT physical to get your bp checked. If it is too high your meds can be adjusted well before you take the DOT physical.

Stop worrying so much, and start thinking!
