Post Class 1 heart problems

I'm currently in the Armed Forces, looking to join civilian ATC.

When I joined up, my ECG displayed (it took me ten years to find this out - then it was by chance!) - that I had a RIGHT BUNDLE BRANCH BLOCK (think thats right!)

Seemingly, after specialists looked at my ECG, it was decided that I was fit for aircrew duties and have held an aircrew medical since joining. (if they had not been happy - I would not have been able to join, seemingly)

My query is, will this allegedly common condition prevent me from passing a class 1 (ATC) medical? In all other aspects I am quite fit - I exercise hard 5 or 6 days a week - have run several marathons -, don't drink much, have low blood pressure etc.

Any guidance would be appreciated
