I am not quite sure if I am in the right forum or website but, any insight is appreciated.
Cardio inhibitory syncope and CDL license/DOT medical exam.?
About 3 years ago, someone that I know fainted suddenly while seated in a barber chair. In following up at the doc's office, a tilt test was done. They fainted and heart stopped for about 13 seconds before the doc stepped in. From that, they were diagnosed with cardio inhibitory syncope. Meds were given but, never taken. There had been no fainting issues before then and none since.
This person is now interested in becoming a OTR driver and training for their CDL license. We read somewhere that fainting/apnea type issues were a no-go when it comes to passing the exam. In discussing this with the person, they don't plan to mention the syncope or episodes to the examiner because they feel it was just a 1-time happening. Won't old medical records somehow reveal this at the time of testing? T
