Can a pacemaker disqualify you from being a driver

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

That’s the way it goes. My dad is 6’1” and 155 lbs and he has it. So the likelihood that had it was high.

Do you sleep well?

"friend" a bunch of sleep studies and sleep apnea crap. I sleep when I'm tired. That could be 3 A.M. or noon.

That might be what they are afraid of if you are behind the wheel of a tractor trailer

I just did my 2 year DOT physical. 5’11” 200lbs and 15” neck. No sleep study and I am overweight.

Im gonna take an educated guess and say you gotta hit 240 before you get a sleep study.

I believe 17" neck and higher is the threshold.

Ok so I just missed it. I really need to go on a diet.

I'd say about 50% of our drivers have had to do the stupid sleep study. 8 that I know of had to get the machine.

From what they tell me.
You have to use the machine 30 days before they will give you your DOT card. You only get a 1 year card. You have to use the machine over 70% of the time a week.

What seems to be pissing a lot of guys off is they will pass the sleep study and 2 years later be told they have to do it again.

Sounds like a good way to rip off our insurance. Thankfully our DOT doctor aint that ambitious.

I’ve seen those videos a million times. They’re hilarious.

Still getting used to it but I sleep better the nights I wear it

That's what I've heard. My buddy has one. I think he said he stopped breathing 49 times when he had the sleep study.

He says he sleeps much better and his wife is happy because he stopped snoring.

My wife swore I didn’t have it. She’s like you snore but it’s not all of the time and you don’t stop breathing.


But I think during the study if you’re normal rhythmic breathing is let’s say every 3 seconds and you go 5 seconds they consider that an event.

Supposedly I had like 75 events in an hour. With the mask on I usually have 1-2 events per hour and it’s on a pretty low setting pressure wise.

I hook up my sleep apnea machine to my dog at night . Never had a issue with the report and the dog sleeps great.
