Perhaps you do, perhaps not. A medical can be denied because a person has a criminal
record. It can be denied because of a history of substance abuse. Neither of these
is, IMO, a medical condition at all.
A friend of mine has a pacemaker. He sold his 182 because the tests he had to take
every six months to retain his medical became too expensive. He flies gliders now. He
does not know or have reason to know of any medical condition that would affect his
ability to fly. As far as he's concerned, he spent several years and a ton of money
proving that he is no more likely to have one than I do.
