Thanks Flying Dutch.

So if I have no symptoms then it shouldn’t be a problem? I have had a class 1 for 14 years, and have never done well on that test. I don’t suffer any lung problems and can job and exercise like everyone else. This doctor was going on that he wouldn’t let me dive or work in a confined place etc.. This really scared me as I don’t know much about this test. He wasn’t my aviation doctor and was doing general medicals for everyone, including ground crew and cabin etc. If the CAA has given me a medical for the pass 14 years and I don’t have any lung disease, can I assume its no problem?

I think I don’t do well on this because I had my Thymus glad removed at 16 because it was oversized. This left my chest slightly lop sided.

Thanks for the info Dutch.
