Blood Pressure Disclouser & The DOT

Are you company or o/o with your own authority. If you are company or leased on to the company #### straight you have to tell them.. but it will be on the company paperwork I wouldnt go out of my way to tell anyone but it WILL be on the company paperwork.

 

You sign the medical form stating that it is accurate and true.

Have an accident or medications are found in the vehicle, then the medical form is invalidated and so will the cdl.

 

If you keep it under control with meds you will be able to get your card for a year at a time, not the 2 year card.

 

I'm sure there are many out there with high BP. Just went for another DOT card and put down my meds for high BP. The only thing with that is you can only get it for 1 year no big deal. Just thinking about your question most likely the meds will show on the piss test. As long as your BP is controlled your fine.

 

They won't disqualify you for being on bp meds. I have been on them for my whole driving career, but you will get a one year medical card, not a big deal.

 

what is considered High blood pressure on a DOT physical?

 

You will b fine they might give you a 1 year card . Do not lie .You will b asked or i believe it is required and if not asked it will or could show up on the drug test .

 

it has to be reported along with the meds used to control it,like Tony said it's a shorter med card period.

 

They are not the type of the drugs tested for.
