Had my PSV since I was 18, and my HGV since I was 26, don't use either, but decided to renew them again this year.

Hl les, did you have to let DVLA know about your heart problem.it is strange how the medicals work with theDVLA i had a ex driver mate who had a brain hemorhage,survived.1 year off work,came back to work speach slurred,a bit slow ,continued to drive european with us ,left hand drive trucks and no problem with DVLA.

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..
