To everyone that has white coat syndrome when getting BP taken.

If you're that close you might want to deal with it instead of sweeping it under the rug.

 

My right eye twitches when it reads BS, it's twitching like heck right now! NOWHERE on the official FMCSA medical form do I see a blank that allows the ME to refer to a previous BP reading. I do not know if you are spreading BS or you have encountered a crooked ME. There is enough myth and BS posted in here as it is.

 

No point. I'm sure over time when drivers attempt to do this and find out it is BS they will reply. Im a regulation wonk! I need to see this allowed for PER FMCSA REGULATION or it's BS. Goodbye!

 

If they were serious about monitoring blood pressure correctly a reading would be needed about a half dozen times over a duration then average it out. Our pressures change during the day and for different reasons but if it is running high or you get drastic changes its best to address why.

 

I never said white coat was not a problem. I suffered from it. I am saying to the best of my knowledge the FMCSA does NOT ALLOW an ME to accept letters like this. Show me a reg or regulatory guidance that says otherwise and I will admit RIGHT HERE I am wrong. Also in that one thread you linked to. Number 6 in my opinion is either telling a bold face lie or has totally misunderstood what was happening. These forums are full of BS. Just because someone says they did it does not mean they actually did.
