Class 2 Medical

Hi,

I am going for a class 2 medical in a couple of months however hope to obtain a class 1 at a later date.

At the moment, I am heavily overweight (BMI of 36) - something I am addressing. I am having to work over the next few months to get the BMI into the acceptable range whilst also trying to improve my overall health. I have been a smoker and more recently vaper, for the past 15 odd years. I am 31 and have done a peak flow test at home and at best blowing around 550.

Does anyone know if that peak flow result would be a problem in terms of passing the class 2 or 1 medical.

I have just literally quit smoking and going to the gym each day so hopefully that will help the cause. By the time it comes to a class 1 medical I should be far healthier however my class 2 is in 12 weeks.

Any info is appreciated.

Regards
Andy
