Yes it is normal. i did a flying schol and got issued a class 2 for this after a cranwell medical.
However when I completed my PPL I was told i needed to have extra tests, and ecg and a blood test.
The ECG was free for me to have at my local docs but had to be "read" by a trained CAA person.
The blood test I had was only for Haemoglobin levels but it still takes a whole mini-syringe full though for some reason. any more queries email.
