Yes the Doctors inform DVLA and they sent me some documents to fill out ,Had to pass a 9 minute treadmill test to get my licence back .

HI yes i had to do the same test,like walking up a sand dune in flip flops coverd in wires i completed it.however my problem was that i had not had a stroke or heart failure but could have i was told i could challenge the dvla in court against the ruling but my doctor told me i would never win.that was after 3years,on bete blockers, etc so i left it at that..
