Thanks everyone for the advice.


The whole process has cost me £500, and that is including an Echocardiogram next week done privately (doing it on the NHS was going to take too long), and the Exercise ECG and consulatation at the CAA a week after.

It seems that I will get my verdict at the consultation which is immediatly after the exercise ECG. By the way, do you know what the exercise ECG involves?

I've been adviced to take it easy for the next two weeks, as three weeks before my medical I started some intense training to try and get me fit again (only exercise I did for the last three years at university was on the dance floor!). I was so nervous I hardly slept, didn't eat in the morning and because I was worrying so much my ECG heart rate was at 112bpm!

Also, would you advice to do the exercise ECG privately or at the CAA. At the moment I'm having the exercise ECG done at the CAA, but would it be of any benefit to me to have it done privately?


Once again thanks for your help.


Regards,

JP
