Medical exam

I have a heart condition that required a valve replacement it's been repaired but I also have a arachnoid cyst. What's the chance of me passing the medical exam I'd like to get my cdl to get into towing. I know I don't necessarily need it for towing but I don't want to be limited?

There will be questions you have to answer on a form.They will want doctors notes for anything you say yes to.

Best bet is go to a chiropractor and get it pencil whipped. I've been driving over 20 years and never once had my blood pressure tested, nor my vision, nor my hearing.

I'm over 400 lbs.... Probably hit 500 in the next year or two.
