Hello everyone,
I am currently a cfi/ii building hours. I am 22 years old, been active all my life (rowed in college). No issues getting medical in the past. I recently went to get my first class medical (new ame). On my records they saw I went in to see a cardiologist back in college. Explaining it short, I have a minor form of pectus (indentation in chest ribs) and NCAA wanted me to get it checked out. Did ekg, stress test, echo, and did a short follow up every year. Cardiologist said I was completely normal. AME wanted those records so I showed him, however I do have a slight arrhythmia showed in the ekg (irbbb) even with that cardiologist in writing saying I am normal. So, the ame didn't want to do my medical, that I have to do more tests again. Talked to different experts even another ame saying it is a common condition and with me not displaying symptoms and having previous cardiologist records I should of still done the physical.
I decided to go with redoing all those tests I did in college to prove I am fine, even another cardiologist says I should be ok. Sucks because my medical is expiring this month so it is a rush. I'm thinking of just going to a different ame I got recommended to be safe. I'll bringing all the new records I am obtaining. Unfortunately the one ame has still not canceled the medxpress days after requesting. Should I worry about this mishap again? Getting denied over this? Was he in the right? The doctor was a family medicine doctor so I don't believe he does a lot of faa medicals
