I suffered a couple of severe headaches when i was 16, I went to the Doctor about it at the time and he prescribed paracetmol.
I recently went for my Class 1 medical which went fine on the day. A number of week's later i received a letter from the CAA informing me that there had been a problem with my Class 1, due to possible migraines. I contacted my Doctor and he informed me that he had at the time put the headaches down as possible migrainous. I have since had no recurrence of the problem.
Is there a clear test that can ascertain if I have ever had Migraines?
Does having migraines automatically preclude one from a Class 1, What is the CAA's attitude?
What have other people in this position done?
All advise gratefully received,
JP
