About a year ago, I had moderate headaches over the course of a few weeks, my GP diagnosed as a routine sinus infection. Took some antibiotics and sudafed, disclosed the visit on the my medical renewal a few months later (class II in anticipation of getting my commercial, I only need class III privileges for now) After that, the headache came back, GP sent me to an ENT who diagnosed it as a septal spur, and did a septoasty to remove it. After a few months the headaches came back more frequent than before and I grounded myself again. ENT sent me to a neurologist, who diagnosed it as status migraine compounded by rebound from NSAIDs and the post-surgical narcotics, and put me on propranolol as a prophalactic. It took a couple of months for it to work completely, but that seems to have done the trick and stopped the headaches. An MRI and blood work came back clean according to my neuro, and I don't have any adverse effects from the beta blockers.
So now what do I do? Can I resume flying on my old medical and just disclose the visits and medication when I renew, or do I need to tear up the old one and see the AME again? If so, what do I need to provide to ensure I pass?
