    There are actually many causes of high blood pressure. Some are not identifiable. Check out this link from the Mayo clinic.

    You love nicotine; does that vapor nicotine work as well as tobacco?
    I no longer smoke; quit cold turkey and with a 3 pack a day habit.

    He won’t because there isn’t such a law.
    There is PDMP, but that is for controlled substance ( narcotics, opiates and such) to keep addicts from doctor shopping. I’m sure BP meds or my statin is not part of the program. Otherwise why would the even ask if you are on meds and not just look it up.

    There was talk of a national database. That even the field could see.

    Because, last thing you want, is a paramedic giving you something that doesn't interact well with a prescription you're taking. And your unable to speak for whatever reason.

    I don't know what became of it though.

    I don't trust Mayo Clinic. Nor do i trust the food pyramid. There is evidence they are backed by the meat and dairy industry.
    In our corrupted lying world, there's no money in you being dead or healthy. The money is made in keeping you sick. There is plenty of evidence to support Dr Esselstyn's reviews. You can believe what you want all the way to the pharmacy to pick up your meds.

    I eat a whole foods plant based diet so I don't have the problems most people suffer from at my age 61. Peace

    If you are ever in a serious accident, and your medical certification is called into question, they can get your records. If they find you’ve been untruthful about your medical condition you can go to jail, and you personally as well as your company could pay fines and be sued in civil court. You know as well as I do, an attorney will dig and find anything and everything they can get their hands on to use against you.

    Proceed under your own conscience.

    Thanks for the warning but my conscience is clear and I’m going to lie my *** off. I’m not going to live my life worrying what a lawyer might do to me someday.

    The part I have a hard time doing is telling the voices in my head to be quite during the physical. Sometimes I'm scared the doctor can hear them too
