DOT physical

How would they know about it unless you tell them?

 

Do you take any medications? If not, do NOT volunteer any information. However, be truthful on all questions if the kidney screen detects anything. Play it by ear.

Good luck on the physical.

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

 

BP Medicine will cause the DOT doctor to evaluate you the same as if you have a mild increase in pressure. You are at risk of only getting a three month cert.

That's rough, having to get a physical every 3 months. Maybe the doc just flunks you the second time.I told the doc I was on BP meds and he gave me a 12 month card vs the 24 month card I had always had. Had to sweat out a new physical every 12

 

With all due respect. If you are on blood pressure meds and you state this on the form or tell the examiner and your blood pressure is high your not getting any card. This is considered out of control blood pressure. At least this was how it was stated on the physical instructions to the examiner at one time.
