Default SVT

Mr Medical Examiner,

On both medicals I've taken, I disclosed that I had previously(6 years ago) been treated for a rapid heartbeat suspected to be from anxiety. The doctors initially labeled it supra ventricular tachycardia, but I have never had any additional issues (supporting the hypothesis that the elevated heartbeat was caused by the anxiety... was first semester of college).

Anyhow, at my last 1st Class medical, the doc said that every time I fill out my application and indicate something about SVT, he has to tell the flight surgeon, or someone, or something to that effect.

He said that more than likely I will never hear anything else about it. Do you concur with this?

He is right, you have to report it. He is also right that the comments he places in Block 60 explain it away and you should never hear anything more.

I definitely report it every time I apply for my medical. I was just wondering what he meant when he said he had to repor it, and what and to whom he was reporting.

Thank you very much for your answer.

Joseph
