Needs help with DOT physical
Posted by NovemberXYZ@reddit | Truckers | View on Reddit | 3 comments
I went to get my DOT certification Monday and the doctor gave me additional paperwork to be signed by a cardiologist because I had an AFib 2 years ago. When I had the AFib, a cardiologist checked me with a bunch of test and said everything is good and released me. I called the cardiologist office I saw two years ago, but the earliest appointment is April 2026. I am in desperate need to find a clinic that can evaluate my heart ASAP and sign the form. Any information on how to find such clinic is greatly appreciated. I live paycheck to paycheck and can't afford to not working. Thanks in advance.

OP: “When I had the AFib, a cardiologist checked me with a bunch of test and said everything is good and released me.”
You shouldn’t need to be reexamined.
Call the cardiologists office and explain you need a letter to bring with to your DOT physical.

I’m very unfamiliar with your request, seems like a very gray area. But please review this, you may have a much better idea which of these options could really help. Possible Help
