Medical Question?
Posted: 02-20-2010, 12:55 AM

About 4 years ago, i had carbon monoxide poisoning. I had to see a cardiologist and he said I had a heart murmur and a sinus arrhythmia(said it was like an abnormal heart beat). Wondering if this is going to restrict me from ATC?

Side question.

I have corrected vision to 20/20. A year later, my vision changes slightly and is probably not 20/20 until I get a stronger prescription. Is this going to be a problem? Was considering LASIK.

Neither issue should be a problem. You must be corrected to 20/20 to pass. You probably will have to have a cardiac evaluation to see the extent of your heart disease.
