I've Had My Blood Pressure At 116 Over 80 And

I've had my blood pressure at 116 over 80 and I've had it jump up to 152 over 100. I'm 40 years old and I smoke less than a pack a day. Idon't drink daily but whenIdo drink between 8 to 10 beers. I'm 6'0 and weigh about 250 right now. I know Ineed to cut weight, but i need this cdl job now. ShouldIjust ask my doc for meds to lower my blood pressure for my pre employment process. I need money to get back in the gym to lose weight. I also just quit smoking cold Turkey today and drinking for awhile. Therequirement for the job had to be less than 160 over 95. I drank about 9 beers the night before but stopped around 10p.m. I had bp taken about p.m. the next day. I also had venti iced americano and 2 cokacolas right before bp was taken? Would those couple things put me over the top? I felt good when went in.
