While that is true, the compliance report that most software generates doesn't care. I tend to wear it watching tv and the Resmed software happily spits out I'm compliant.
Basically all the report cares about, and thus the med examiner, as 4hrs a night 70% of the time.
discrimination?

I took BP medications for the last 15 or so years I drove. After retirement, I lost some weight and watch my consumption of processed foods. Today after almost 5 years I don't take them and my BP is very good. You can get off the pills if you will make lifestyle changes.
I need to make an edit and offer an apology to @Grumppy . I did not think about it till tonight, but I was recently put on a water pill called Jardiance, so I am taking a diuretic and they are considered a BP pill. However, I am taking this pill for a different reason and the Blood pressure is a side effect. Also, I went for a while taking no BP medication. However, just to be honest I admit I am taking something that can be considered a water pill.Last edited: Jun 5, 2019

Cattleman84 Thanks this. -
Blood pressure can improve without the meds. My wife has been on and off of it several times. When her weight goes up so does her BP. Then she takes meds until she loses some weight again. Then she dont need the meds. I wish she would just keep the weight down, and she would likely never have BP issues.

I'm still trying to figure out where the discrimination was supposed to be.

Never heard of my DOT doc checking my life medical history. She is in Ash Flat Arkansas by the way. Where you get some of the wild #### you come up with is beyond me. It has to be chemically induced
Diesel Dave Thanks this.
