    try another company

    next time, DO NOT have ANY caffinated beverages or salt on your foods.

    and try and calm down...

    it ain't like the doctor is going to do a prostrate exam on you...!!!!

    I do not know how it will affect you since you are in training.
    I have only had one bad blood pressure physical, they gave me iirc a 90 day physical and wanted me to see a doctor. I did not want blood pressure medicine, as you only get 1 year physicals if you take it, so I told them I would get it down on my own and did, retook the test and everything was fine.

    “White Coat Syndrome” is a commonly known ailment. Have your doctor write you a letter.
    Not surprised “they” didn’t do diddly to offset this possibility.

    I don't know what DNQ means.

    Did not Qualify?

    Is the entire english language to be boiled down to just letters?

    Get a 2 year card from your doc and look elsewhere. Your body didn't like that company, and bodies don't fib.
