Military Aircrew and Heart Murmur

Good afternoon all,

Whilst having a Armed Forces med today with my local AFCO AME; it was noticed that I have a audible Heart Murmur.
I was obviously shocked (and slightly disappointed and upset) upon hearing this news and I was made TMU until further investigations are made.

I appreciate that some may not be medically qualified to answer (and I am in the process of having ECG's and Echocardiagram done and my AFCO has been informed) what are the chances that all being well and nothing found to be sinister that I will be able to continue with a career in Mil Av.

Overall; I'm glad this has been discovered but as mentioned - I'm gutted and disappointed - just hoping it doesn't hamper my application or future.

Best regards.
