 new meds
Okay let me start out with a little history.
When I began flying 8yrs ago I had to get approval from the FAA for my 3rd class medical due to history of high blood pressure and medication I was taking to treat it.
3rys later when going in for renewal of 3rd class medical to the same AME as before I only had to submit 3 previous blood pressure readings and pass the other standard test to get it renewed on the spot.
6 years lapse no flying.
Now I am going in for a 1st class medical and wonder what I can expect since I am now not only on the blood pressure meds but also simvastatin for cholesterol. Will the disclosure of the simvastatin bring up an entirely new obstacle? I have my past three blood pressure readings from my primary physician what else might the AME want?
I understand there is an EKG required since I am 35 yrs old, is this a resting EGK?
Thanks,
