You should have a copy of the prescription for any drug you've taken in the last 6 months. 99 times it won't be needed, just like 99 times I won't need a flare when I go camping, but it still gets packed.

You have all been of great help. Thank you

Bring the note, but only show it to someone if they ask. If you list high BP or BP medication on your DOT medical form you will get a 1 year DOT medical card. It doesn't matter if your BP numbers are good, BP meds = 1 year card. If you are not prescribed medications all the look at is the BP numbers. If anyone is borderline at the exam, proper procedure for testing BP is to have the patient sit quietly for 5 minutes, no talking, no activity. Then measure the BP. Most times the clinics like to measure your BP while you are talking, doing other things, etc. Insist on the 5 minute rest and quiet if you need it. It never hurts to mention white coat syndrome, the fear of a doctor taking away your income raises your BP briefly.

I have white coat .... and verified by my primary care Dr. I take a BP reading on my own almost every day and the results are saved. My Dr has verified the accuracy of my device and reviews the results. My BP will spike when I go for my physical, exactly as you said, no job if I don't pass. It will go down significantly after awhile. That plus the letter from the Dr and a printout of my readings for the last three months gets me a 2 yr card, not on any kind BP meds because normally, well, it is normal.
