I have HBP, Sleep Apnea (Untreated), and type 2 diabetes. What will happen if I just check no on the health problems and medications questions on my physical and pass my physical? Should I even mention it to the doctor?
Can I lie to the doctor at my DOT physical for trucking school?

Stay off the sweets and do some serious walking a few days before the physical and nothing to eat or drink after midnight on the day of the physical. Water only; no coffee.

I was taking Diovan for BP and it was always borderline and had to lay down for a few minutes to get a passing grade. Doctor switched my medication to Telmisartan and now BP is perfect every time.

Last time she put the cuff on my arm and I held my arm elevated. She said, "What in the world are you doing with your arm in the air?" I told her some drivers on TTR said it helps get a lower reading. She laughed and said, "That's not true" with a cute little Chinese hottie giggle.Last edited: Nov 4, 2019

You DO NOT want to lie on a DOT physical. DOT physicals are more thorough than ever. Seeing that you mentioned you re a diabetic, you better hope and pray you re not spilling any sugar into your urine. You may very well screw yourself and end up getting a 3 month card vs a 1 or 2 year card

Sure, in this day and age, why not? It's a great way to start a new career, especially one where the public is involved. I tell ya' folks, this takes the cake.
