Vision Test:
Your eyes will be tested, both separately and together, using a standard Snellen eye chart.
-
Hearing Test:
Your ability to hear, or not hear, sounds and tones at specific distances and frequencies will be tested and evaluated.
-
Blood Pressure/Pulse Rate:
Your blood pressure and pulse rate will be taken, abnormally high readings/hypertension may result in a shorter medical certification.
-
Urinalysis/Drug Test:
Your urine sample will be tested in a lab for blood, sugar, and protein, which might indicate hidden health problems. It will also be tested for illegal/prescription drugs and alcohol
Is there anything I can do to help make sure my blood pressure isn’t too high?
Make sure you don’t drink caffeine the day of your test. Avoid stress the day before and morning of the exam. These are a couple of things that may artificially raise blood pressure temporarily and they can be easily avoided.
