Need my DOT physical, but have high BP when at the doctor.

I don't know if you can get a legal DOT physical in Mexico.
Fly back to Arkansas; it will be worth the expense.

Here's his thread:
Sleep study required for DOT med card.

 

See a Doctor....get your BP under control. Are you that effing stupid???

 

I don’t think Mexico will fly unless it’s a top notch ripoff of one. Let me know if you go there I’m getting low on our favorite tequila from there.

 

How high is your BP?
Does your regular Dr. lie on the forms?

 

Seriously I take it it’s way too high and your dr just gives you a pass. So it’s either him or Mexico. If it’s that bad your dr should refer to a heart dr to get some help before something bad happens.

 

Some of this nonsense just doesn't make sense to me. There's a lot of people who simply should not be driving commercial vehicles let alone private vehicles.

People trying to skim on their DOT physicals, people asking, "what companies don't do Hair Follicle Drug Tests?" is the one that gets me. If you don't think you can pass a Hair Follicle Drug Test, do everyone on the road a favor and find another career.

I went for my DOT physical and they would only give me a 3 month DOT card because my blood sugar was at 240. Within a month's time after working with my doctor I got my sugar level down with metformin, diet and exercise.

there's a reason they don't want unhealthy people behind the wheel of a big rig. Perhaps I should have found a doctor who would just look the other way, but I take my career more serious then most, especially when it comes to my health. If you can't pass a DOT physical, stay home.

 

What he said. ^^^^^

Get your BP and possibly sugars under control ASAP, and get, as many that I do know fighting diabetes and other health issues - a 3,6,12 month card.

 

I just had to give up my cdl recently due to diabetes and having to be insulin dependent now.

 

I hate to hear that.

We have the FIL here full time now, diabetic, retinopathy, Stage 4 renal failure . . . All caused by cruddy diet.

3 years ago we turned him from deaths door by diet alone - unfortunately he decided McDonalds was tastier.
