Long story short, after years of delays in training and I renewed my expired 3rd class medical and was given forms by my AME for an initial disclosed OSA condition and anxiety with a one time SSRI use for about 2-3 weeks.
I received the letter from FAA requesting more information due in 90 days and they were more interested in the Anxiety issue than anything else. As I was going through my records, I found a note in a hospital record stating "admits marijuana use" from an ER in visit in 2020 where I had severe GERD, tachycardia, and chest pains, and anxiety due to the physical symptoms, I thought I was having a heart attack. A GI cocktail later, all was normal, ECG normal, labs were all good and I was released. I then did a full cardiac workup (holter monitor, echo, stress test, and nuclear stress test) and nothing was found.
The marijuana use was a one-time thing in 2020 and I haven't touched the stuff since. This was in the middle of all the craziness happening in the world and I totally forgot I had even done that until I was getting my records ready. There is no lab work, etc. Now I'm worried that since it's only been roughly 17 months, not over the 24 months that I would be in violation of answering no on 18.(n). I just remembered it was 2020, 2 years ago and I don't do that stuff so I answered no.
I screwed up, I admit it, but now what? An explanation letter? HIMS? Forfeit the medical and apply again later?
