    I have recently been diagnosed with this. The Dr said I may need a valve in ten years. He said there is no medication needed.

    Most Drs. don't even hear the murmur.

    What will I need to renew my medical? I have the Drs report from September this year. Will that be enough for the examination?

    The Dr. said there is no disability or medication indicated.

    You shouldn’t need anything to renew your medical. Just go in and do your physical.

    The examiner might hear the murmur. I looked at the medical form and it says any kind of heart disease.

    At least you did not have a heart attack which after some time you can still be cleared for your cdl medical renewal.

    He said it will be ten years before it causes enough trouble.

    The Dr said it is not preventable. It wasn't something I did and there is nothing I can do. I don't even have symptoms.

    I guess my main question is am I gonna have to pay the Heart Dr a couple hundred bucks to fill out some paper. I just paid him $831 for the Echocardiogram.
