Just go to different doctor. Do not tell that you are on medications. I went from 3 months, then second 3 months again, then 3rd time 3 months again, then 2 years.
Going from 1 yr Medical to a 2 year Medical card?

Last year I had my physical done and had like 3 cups of coffee and smoked all morning up until I walked in the clinic. My BP was just over the limit, so I got a 1 year card. 3 weeks ago I went back to same doctor and this time I had 1/2 cup of coffee and did not smoke and passed and was issued a 2 year card, same doctor.
bentstrider83 Thanks this. -
The point being made was not whether coffee would cause you to fail a physical due to high blood pressure. But that caffeine does raise blood pressure and if you have the risk of high blood pressure do not drink coffee before a physical
-
If you are on meds for BP you will typically only get a one year card....
UsualSuspect Thanks this. -
I don't know about the coffee. But I definitely know about the smoking.
