Thanks for the reply Rick.

I definitely wouldn't lie on the DOT exam, but it's been so long since I've taken one, I just wasn't sure if I'd pass one with vertigo on my medical record. I was still dizzy when the medics came and I puked a bit, but once I got to the hospital they did give me something through an IV that made me really tired. They watched me for about an hour or so, did their tests then released me with the prescription. They said all the tests came back fine (CAT scan, MRI) so they said they thought I experienced vertigo. I wasn't on any meds, my blood pressure is normal (I run about 4-5 miles a day) so I was stumped as to what was happening. Anyway, thanks again!

Hi Everyone,

I have a question I hope someone can help me with. I had my CDL about 20 years ago and let it go (stupid I know), now I want to get back into trucking and have to jump through all the hoops again.

My question is would I be able to still pass a DOT physical if I had a bout of dizziness about a year and a half ago? I was home at the time and got up from my chair and all of a sudden the room started spinning. My wife panicked and called the ambulance. We get to the ER and the doctors aren't sure what caused it, they say it may have been vertigo. I've never had this happen before or since, but now it's on my medical file that I may have experienced vertigo. They prescribed two meds to take, but I've never taken them and never had to. I'm in great shape other than this incident. Just seeing if anyone has been through something similar and was still able to drive. Thanks in advance.
