I tend to have the other opinion, based on my experiences with DOD Security Clearance experience. I had a TS/SBI which is the highest security clearance they have and included FBI agents going to my hometown talking with my teachers from high school, several of my friends parents and my previous employers. This was only a couple of years after high school, so those folks were relevant.
Anyway, had I not been honest, even though a couple of things weren't quite kosher (pot smoking and lots of getting drunk), I would not have gotten my clearance. By coming clean, in that situation, it meant no one had anything on me they could extort me with. That was kind of the principle involved with that as it was explained to me when granting me my clearance.
I'd go get a second physical, honestly, and just claim forgetfulness about the missing info on the 1st clearance. If you do this BEFORE it becomes a possible issue, you have shown you tried to make things right because it was the right thing to do. If you continue to hid this and it becomes an issue, it looks like your intent was to be fraudulent and that usually doesn't turn out well.
That's just my 2 cents and why. Chances are none of this will probably amount to a hill of beans. But, if it does, where do you want to be standing?
