I had a heart attack 12 years ago and am now doing fine. I am on blood pressure medication and I have to take a stress test every other year. My blood pressure is fine until I get in that room and it elevates. But end up relaxing enough to pass. When I get home, I take my blood pressure machine and take my blood pressure and it always falls back down to good numbers. Too bad you can't make house calls to do this!! Thanks Doc, I have subbed liked and rang the bell!!

Awesome video Doc.---👍 My question,. If there is blood in urine -- will that automatically disqualify a driver ? I'm glad I am a subscriber -- very professional and informative videos .. We thank you for that!.👍👍👍👍👍

@EasyDOTPhysicals Жыл бұрын

Thanks! If we found blood in your urine we would ask you to consult with your doctor to investigate the cause but would not automatically disqualify. Pending the reason for the blood we could then potentially certify you. Hope this helps!

Hi doc. My doctor prescribes me Cyclobenzaprine to take at night if needed as a muscle relaxer, and Pregabalin as a nerve blocker, I have no history of seizures and was only prescribed the Pregabalin for my nerve pain, Pregabalin doesn't make me intoxicated in any way. Is this an automatic disqualification? or could I possibly get a note from my doctor? Thank you

I would accept a note from your doctor but this is up to the individual examiner.

Hey Doc, I have MS and currently take Ponvory orally (1 pill a day). My MS is very controlled and I’m doing great. No issues whatsoever. Does this diagnosis disqualify my chances of getting my CDL-A altogether?

Does lupus sle that is in remission and mostly controlled by medication disqualify for CDL? How about concerta or adderall? Would I need clearance letters for both before physical? Also are the DOT physical standards the same in every state? Or do different states have different rules? I want to drive a school bus part time but I won’t waste my time if lupus disqualifys me all together.

@EasyDOTPhysicals Жыл бұрын

Lupus is not an automatic disqualification. Yes on the clearance letters.

I think I asked in one of the other videos, and online I keep getting different answers. I am going to be driving for FedEx but from a contractor. I go for my drug test on Monday and then after that, I have to go for the physical exam. I’ve been prescribed Adderall since middle school , because of my ADHD, I’m 35 now, and I am on Xanax which I have been on for the last 12 years due to social anxiety and PTSD. Physically I am completely fine. I have great vision. Am I going to be disqualified because of being prescribed Adderall and Xanax?

Two questions 1) Do they go back over our history to see if we have had history with high blood pressure? Meaning, if I go in and check the boxes that say I've never had any health problems, will they, the DOT, come back a few days later and say, "Um, you lied on your paperwork because not only did you have high blood pressure, but you've stated in three previous tests that you were on BP medication and you could only get the three months card at one time. 2) Am I reading it right that since I've had a history of high blood pressure, and if I'm honest and mark I did, even if Im off medication, do I have to settle for the one year medical card? Thanks.

@EasyDOTPhysicals 4 ай бұрын

All of this depends on the individual medical examiner. For our clinic in general 1. we would only look at past medical history if we did the previous exams. 2. if BP is normal and off meds then a 2 year is possible
