| Back to driving after a Heart Attack Has anyone had a heart attack, and gone back to driving? I had 1 on June 17 and returned to work July 7. I drive in state for the most part (100% since HA) went today to renew my Fed Med card and was informed I should have not drove for 2 months after the heart attack and can't get my fed-med card until I undergo a stress test and I believe an echo cardiogram. Does this sound right? No one said a word till today,,, if my med card had not expired I would not even know yet. TIA Mark  |

| Yes the rule is two months and you must complete a stress echo or other stress test. I didn't know either but found out as I was processing in with a new employer.

| My first physical, the doc saw it and didn't say anything. My second one with a different doc ask me all about it and requested the test results.

| I had one five years ago. They just want the flow percentage of blood to the heart. They should have a form to give your doctor. If you have already had a stress test the doctor will have that info. You will only be issued a 1 year card and have to have this info every year. |
