How did this lead to the loss of a medical? In other words, how does it prevent you from performing flight crew duties?
It comes from sharing that information with your AME. Fill out the form truthfully, take the tests, move on. Since I'm not an MD, I don't list things that I think
could be wrong with me. I let the doctor perform the physical and determine if I'm healthy enough to fly.
