They need to make sure that it is indeed a vasovagal trigger and not something more serious that could cause it to happen randomly or even in the case of propensity to vasovagal reactions, something that isn't frequent or possible to happen in-flight. While I have a pretty solid notion of what...

I guess I am getting a bit turned around in these threads. I fully intend to report accurately, was just trying to get a good idea of what to expect and how to best go about it. I appreciate your advice and will follow that to get this all tested before I start with the AME. If there are hoops...

Dr. Chien, so then just to clarify, you would recommend that I get those tests done before seeing the AME, or it is a lost cause altogether? I guess I also never heard of NSIVCD being called "heart disease" in and of itself, but sometimes a symptom thereof. I was told it was a normal variant...
