without knowing your medical history its kinda hard to give an answer but here goes.. you need an aviation medical certificate in order to fly.. as long as you can pass the exam, you should be fine.. the employer usually doesnt ask you about your health.. a second class medical certificate is pretty basic.. checks your blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, eyes for color blindness, might have to turn your head and cough.. the doc will ask you about previous medical history and you’re expected to be honest with him.. im not sure what all is involved in a first class medical since i havent had one done yet but i believe its much more in-depth..
