Blood Pressure Management for CDL Drivers at
DOT Express Medical Clinic Las Vegas
At DOT Express Medical Clinic Las Vegas, we understand the critical role blood pressure plays in passing your DOT physical exam and maintaining your CDL medical card. A blood pressure check is one of the first steps in the DOT physical and is a key factor in determining the duration of your CDL certification—whether it’s a three-month extension, a one-year pass, or the ideal two-year CDL medical card.
High blood pressure (a common issue) and low blood pressure (less common) can both have serious health implications. High blood pressure increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes, while low blood pressure can cause extreme fatigue. For professional drivers, maintaining blood pressure within a normal range is vital for both health and safety on the road.

How We Help Drivers Manage Blood Pressure
At DOT Express, we prioritize accurate and fair evaluations, giving drivers every opportunity to achieve their best possible blood pressure reading. Our certified team:
-
Allows ample time for testing and retesting if the initial reading isn’t optimal.
-
Provides tips for relaxation and breath control to ensure accurate results.
-
Offers retests during the same visit to help drivers achieve a better outcome.
In cases where these measures aren’t enough to bring blood pressure into the optimal range, we’ve created a specialized Blood Pressure Management Program designed specifically for CDL drivers.

The Blood Pressure Management Program
Our program is tailored to the unique needs of CDL license holders and focuses on helping drivers achieve healthier blood pressure levels for long-term success. Once enrolled, drivers will:
-
Receive a personalized treatment plan that may include dietary guidance, exercise recommendations, or medications if necessary.
-
Be equipped to meet the standards for their CDL medical card and continue driving safely.
-
Leave the clinic with proper examination results and confidence that they’re on a path to better health.
This program ensures drivers can comply with FMCSA regulations while also improving their overall well-being. Drivers can enroll in the program during their exam or schedule a separate visit for a personalized consultation.

What Causes Blood Pressure Changes?
Blood pressure can be influenced by several factors, including:
-
Diet and Exercise: Poor eating habits, lack of physical activity, and high sodium intake are common contributors to elevated blood pressure.
-
Stress Levels: Prolonged stress can lead to temporary spikes or sustained high blood pressure.
-
Genetics: Some individuals are predisposed to high or low blood pressure, which may require medication to manage effectively.
With the right combination of lifestyle adjustments and, when necessary, medication, drivers can maintain healthy blood pressure levels and reduce risks associated with hypertension or hypotension.
