Isn't it best to disclose as little as possible during the medical?
This was assuming you've already been medically disqualified for high blood pressure. Your doctor will have to disclose what you're taking to regulate it in an appeal

No they take it. But they do let you come back a second time. A lot of guys had to appeal.

And telling them to take it manually won't matter. If it's close they're going to fail you. Or at least according to the clinic since they reported only overturning like 13% of the machines results in their report on the machines. They're all such hacks they're afraid to overturn the machine's decision. I've seen ducks with better medical training. Just be calm and relaxed

Thanks AWOL. I'm list #63XX last two digits are in the teens of the 6063 list I did my medical last year and passed got called for orientation this Thursday 6/4/15, got my cdl already and have no criminal record. Only thing holding me back is my blood pressure, do you know which blood pressure meds are tolerated by the dept? Been waiting 8 years don't want a slightly high blood pressure reading to disqualify me. Any help would be appreciated!

AWOL, unfortunately, i done some mighty dumb s*it in my past, just one thing on my resume that I have which is have a disposition letter for. My question is, i have been given summons in my young teenage years for smoking/possession the greens, when it comes time to disclose the past, do i need to bring that up when I was 15/16 , if I do, how do i go about finding the info out of the time that happened because I don't remember when it did, is there a central court i go too or what? I need some direction in this if you know or any of your fellow co workers know

Disclose everything even if it's sealed , they will hire people with serous felonies on their record . As long as nothing is pending you will be fine. As far as dispositions you have to go the court that took care of your cases. If you live in Staten Island that's targee st most likely. Just go In say you need dispositions for all your pink slip summonses and all arrest and bring cash cause you have to pay for them. I believe it's 10 dollars for each summons and 30 for an arrest.they will have all the dates on them to if you forgot.

Unlike your medical...criminal is DISCLOSE EVERYTHING. Even if you were found innocent, list it. Go to the court and get the CoD and bring it with you. Go to the court your case was heard in. They should have it

Anything over 140/90 is considered pre hypertension. I passed last year with 135/86. As you see I'm right on the borderline. I get readings all over the place. Sometimes its 117/72 other times its 170/120.
