I suffered a minor concussion , if you can even call it that, about 6 months ago. When I went to the ER I told them I "may have lost conciousness for 5-10 seconds" however, my friend says after I fell I popped right back up. After the doctors did a CT scan, which came back fine, and a series of cognitive tests which also came back fine, they told me that they think why I didn't remember a few seconds was due to shock. When I fell I also broke my arm, which required pain meds. I took them for 3 days and flushed them because I didn't like how I was reacting to them. I'm going in for a 1st class medical Friday. I talked to the AME he told me to bring in all the data from the accident . On my form I answered yes on the question asking if you have ever lost conciousness, but in the comments described what I said above. The AME Said he may have to defer issuance until he talks to the FAA. I Currently have a 3rd class medical which is good for the next 2 yrs. if he does defer my first class, is my 3rd still good? The AME said that they will issue the first class but he needs to talk to the FAA about it first.
