    If they do. No one said anything to me last time. And I didn't disclose.

    Yes, BP meds will be in the urine sample, but nobody is testing for them. The DOT physical exam looks for sugar, proteins, and something else. They are not testing for drugs. The random or pre-employment drugs screen tests for multiple drugs you can see listed in the FMCSA regs

    They also immediately test it for temperature.
