Supraventricular tachycardia

Hi,

I was admitted to the emergency department this evening for about 4 hours due to elevated heart rate. At my GP (prior to googo to the ED) my BPM spiked at 216. At both the GP and the hospital I had an ECG taken, which came back as normal. It seems that my BPM is steady between 100-110, slightly higher than the normal 60-100. The doctors said that I likely have Supraventricular tachycardia which is a harmless heart condition. This means that I can sometimes have palpitations and high heart rate. I do experience palpitations, not regularly, but perhaps once or twice per week. They last no longer than a few seconds. With the high BPM (such as the 200+) I never felt the increase.

My question is, will I perhaps have trouble with a Class 1 medical?

FYI, I am 16.
