I wasn't feeling well so I flunked BP at a physical. Can I just go to a different Dr and start my physical over. I am sure my BP is down now. Rest, no salt, before coffee, etc

He told me to go see a Dr and have my own Dr certify my BP. I wan't to save the expense and just start over. Is my flunked physical on file now with DOT or does it die in the office if I do nothing.

You can go to a second Doc but have to give the same info on the forms to him as you gave to the first Doc. Everyone taking (passing or not) a DOT physical goes into the database. To see what you can do go to OOIDA and read this:

What was your BP? There is a reason why they call hypertension the silent killer. I have had it for longer than I can remember, and mine is high, it was discovered during a routine physical, take 2 pills a day for it.
I get a 1 years card, no biggie to me as I know it won't put me in the grave early. I am not sure why so many want to avoid taking care of it permanently.driverdriver, Ryan423, pattyj and 1 other person Thank this. -
