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

That’s terrible

 

Also why this guy gets a heart dr to look at his bp before he hurts himself or someone else.

 

Please tell us the name of this doctor so we can report him for malpractice, among other things.

And guess what?

BP levels are pretty tough for CDL

Doesn’t help that they changed the parameters for BP in recent years , throwing a third of the population into an ‘at risk’ category.

But there is big pharma for you.

I’m always borderline on getting a 2 year, and I’m 5’10 , 210lbs. Smoke and drink is my problem. Diet is pretty good - pretty much keto.

 

Yeah that was my first thought when i read this question, here is a driver quite clearly with a medical problem trying to find ways to beat the system to continue to drive with no consideration to the general safety of themselves and other road users. For sure get the medical issue fixed then get a medical certificate, there is a valid reason why the dept of Transport require drivers are to have a medical certificate to ensure the roads remain safe.

 

Easy there tiger!

My chiropractor is my friend, but he won’t rubber stamp me on medicals.

We had the discussion and the liability still falls on him - he has had 3 attorney contacts in 10 years regarding lawsuits.

They dig deep - and no half way intelligent physician would expose themselves to that risk.

 

go to the nogales truck stop. theres all kinds of stuff there late at night.

 

Times 2 on getting low on the tequila

 

Will you tell on him?
But he did nothing yet...

 

Not passing the medical DOT because of BP means that it must be really high...like 150/110 or something like that, which is not too good for sure. As soon as he is given some pills he'll be all right. I don't blame him for trying to find more lenient doctor because some of them are trying to find problems that don't exist. For instance, on my medical exam I was asked if ever in my life I smoked cigarettes and had alcohol - ever in my life ... what sort of stupid questions are they asking me? They need to test me, if I am fit to drive.
