So I just completed my medical exam today and passed everything for my trade choices, but the tech said I have a bit of an irregular heartbeat. It's not irregular in the sense that it's all over the place, but he said (and I can now sometimes feel when taking my own pulse) that there seems to be a little gap once in a while between heartbeats. I'm very healthy otherwise and have had no other indication of it hindering my performance (triathlons, weight lifting, sports in general). He said it wasn't a problem because I can't feel it or its effects unless taking a resting heart rate. What's odd is that it has never been picked up before, even after every doctor visit, blood donation, or anything.
My choices are infantry and combat engineer, and I take it from what he said, there isn't an issue with it hindering my employment with the CF for those positions. My goal is to apply to CSOR after the minimum 2 years, and I'm wondering if I will be denied because of it. I will ask again next time I'm at the RC, but was hoping someone here might have some insight into this problem and how it effects clearing medical exams for any specialty training in the combat arms (parachutist, sniper, patrol pathfinder...). Besides, the RC hasn't been very helpful in answering any CSOR questions I've asked before... I guess they aren't told much about it?
Thanks guys
