    I used to do that too, but if I was to go for a physical now I would probably tell them. Times have changed.

    As for the OP, @Marbles, you said your B/P sitting is 130/ 85-95. That bottom number had better be below 90 or you may end up with a 3 month card. Your doc might adjust your meds to get it down closer to 120/80 to give you some breathing room on the physical.

    Another driver told me he did not tell the Doc. He had a prescription for a drug, the drug store reported it, apperantly there is a site that stores the info. He got a 1 year card. Which is not that big of a deal
