I am 79 and on no medications and drive myself everywhere but I do not like to drive at night. While I can, oncoming bright lights can blind me.
I was wondering if respiratory allergy is counted as a medical denial ?
I Appreciate your help.
Do I list vitamins and supplements. I am only taking 3 meds, one for pain (naproxen) and 2 for prostate! I do take supplements every day. I have had steal put in my back, and have COPD! Is there anything that will give me trouble? I am 71! BP is low! Last stress test they gave me was not on treadmill was they gave me some shots and scans after time!
Is it possible to get the 1 class medical with mild scoliosis (11 degrees)?
I have COPD and Emphysema. Blood pressure good.
Dot gives a one year penalty for blood pressure medication, so if you are on meds, you have a one year cert instead of a two year. As a result, many many drivers, more that the dot would ever admit, take temporary measures to pass the physical, and get the 2 year cert. Physicals given by chiropractors who could care less. Common sense would reward a guy who is seeing his doc regularly and has things under control, not vica versa.
