jdavis0036 and Dave_in_AZ Thank this.

There are no regs that states you can only have 2 dot physicals. Simply go get your card and you'll be good.
The only restrictions to getting multiple physicals if you fail one is you must give the Dr. the same information on subsequent ones.
In your case, you fixed the issue that caused you to fail, so good.snowmantrucking101, roshea and jdavis0036 Thank this. -
Meds are cheap, you can get a 90 day supply for less than $10 just about everywhere you go.
Numb Thanks this. -
yup beginner BP meds are real cheap.
90 days of bp and a statin for cholesterol was free on Medicare. was about 8$
I'm still on the beginner dose and mine was 127 over 78 at the DR wed.
not bad for a retired fat old fart!UsualSuspect Thanks this. -

Eat garlic, no coffee, tea, energy drinks, 8 hours sleep the night before. Sit quiet for at least 5 minutes before the test. nobody reports it to anybody, you could if you go down the street to a CP that day.
