    try going into your appt WITHOUT smoking a cig or drinkin coffee for at least 24 hours. oh and btw...50 to 100 bpm is a ridiculous range and should not be used for your reference. and your diastolic# is pretty damn high, 90? your systolic is generally okay to be up a bit, but the diastolic sounds like a problem. i can tell you now they are going to relate your bad diastolic number and your fast heartrate to have cardiovascular problems. yes it could get in the way of getting your job. that coffee and cigs will definitely mess with your results man...

    Thanks for ur reply, but i already had the test and didnt know about the cigs/coffee thing..

    Doc said that 90 d is OK, i researched it and normal range is 60-90.
    Dont they take into account that the fast rate could from from many things like anxiety, cigs, coffee, no exercises, weight...height..wtever?

    How would this PREVENT me from being a security guard..i dont quite get it.

    Also will they allow me to retake the test if i asked maybe?

    Thanks.
