Asthma Waiver West Point?
My condition i need to waived is a history of asthma past age 13, and I do not have asthma anymore, and that's confirmed on my last medical physical from a year ago. I have not shown any asthma symptoms since I was maybe 12, but I've still had precautionary meds past that date, up until I was 15 years old. I looked at the only 2 physicals I had past age 13, and they both said "No Shortness of Breath with exercise" and "Lungs: No wheezes, crackles; good air movement.". And on my last physical from a year ago, there were no mentions of asthma and no prescriptions for it. My doctor is also writing a letter explaining how my childhood asthma has regressed and died out over the years. I'm also going to write a letter to USMA/USAFA waiver authorities explaining my condition. I think I am going to include that I have grown up and worked on a farm, and have been subjected to a lot dust, hay pollen, and chemicals and have been asymptomatic for some time now. Sorry for the long description, but can you all tell me your opinions about what my chances are? As of now, USMA and USAFA requested remedials through dodmerb, requesting that I provide all medical records from age 10-present.
Can i still be a marine with mild asthma?
Im fifteen years old and I have been waiting and training to join the marines for quit a while now. its all I have ever wanted to do. Now im finding out that my extremely mild case of asthma could stop me. i have read about people lying about it and getting waivers and things like that. i also know that those who are diagnosed after the thirteenth birthday are disqualified. i have had a bad cold and got an asthma attack a year ago but it was not bad. i play football and i have had no problems for the 6 years i played. is that one asthma attack going to exclude me or should i be okay because i was diagnosed at about nine years old? i know there are medical waivers, but are they hard to get and what will i have to do to get one. please help me. this is a really bad situation for me and a really big deal.
What does it feel like, when one is experiencing an asthma attack?
It's bizarre. You can't get enough air into your lungs. You try to breathe deeply, but it's not really helping. It's almost like you're slowly suffocating, like your lungs just can't keep up with the oxygen demands of your body. You might start to get light headed. Your heart might be beating fast. You're often wheezing too, struggling to move air past all the inflammation and mucus that's blocking it. You might be coughing, like you're trying to clear your throat (not that coughing helps much).Inhalers are okay, but they're not miracle drugs. I mean yeah, they definitely help you breathe better, but it's not like you're back to normal instantly. Plus, they make me feel really jittery. My hands start shaking, and I just feel anxious for several hours afterward. I don't like using it unless I absolutely have to. The only non-inhaler remedy I've found is sipping water. It won't make the asthma attack go away, but it may help to keep it under control.The first time I had an asthma attack, I was training for a half marathon. I was in the best shape of my life. Just the day before, I had run several miles with no problem. But this day was different. I couldn't even finish one mile because I felt so exhausted, like I was going to pass out! It was bizarre. I had to walk home from the track slowly, and even after resting for an hour, I was still having trouble breathing. It eventually subsided, but that was definitely one of the weirdest experiences of my life.Over time, I learned that strenuous exercise is what triggers my asthma. It's weird because I ran track and cross country in high school and never had a problem. But then, at 22 years old, it was suddenly an issue. Now that I've had it for a while, I mostly just find it frustrating that my lungs won't cooperate with my efforts to be healthy and exercise. It just gives me one more excuse to be sedentary, and I hate that because I've been active my whole life.
Joining the military and need to remove asthma from my medical record!?
in a police academy you're not sprinting with 100 lbs on your back in 130 degree heat with a bunch of moon dust in the air... that will be a true test of whether you still have asthma or not... jsut an FYI anyway, where were you diagnosed? a doctor that you've been seeing for years? a hospitol? if it was a doctor that you saw only once, jsut omit it. you'll have to test at meps anyway since you had asthma at one point in your life and they'll want to make sure you dont still have it. if it was your normal doctor, which test was used to diagnose for asthma (lung function test, methacholine, medical history related test, xray, etc?) if it was the methacholine test: yeah thats about as accurate as it gets, you wont be able to disprove it. if its any other test, you can argue the results to a point. a lung function test can be affected by allergies, URI, LRI, or even just mucus. a medical history test isnt really a solid diagnosis in the first place, its just guessing off of your history. an xray can be affected by any of the things listed for a lung function test. anyway the first step is to talk to a recruiter and see what can be done. you'll most likely have to prove your diagnosis was wrong, so request a methacholine test from your doctor to prove that you dont have asthma. if you test positive: sorry but you still have asthma, even if it is slight. if you test negative: congrats! you dont have any asthma or asthmatic symptoms and can most likely explain to meps (and take a spirometer test) and take them your test results and you should be fine.
Fighter Pilot with Asthma?
I have been seriously considering becoming a fighter pilot in the U.S Air Force, it sounds like a dream job, but I read that having a history of asthma will disqualify you. My asthma is very mild and under control, I was eight years old when I had an asthma attack. Is there anyway possible to get around this rule. Can there be any exceptions?
Asthma and Fighter Pilot's?
Any history of asthma after the age of 13 is an automatic DQ, I know. I was diagnosed with asthma at a young age, mostly triggered by allergies. Growing up my asthma has subsided. I've never had an asthma attack ever, I'm a model to fitness being a certified personal trainer, however I've been prescribed medication my whole life like Albuterol and Singulair. So my question is, although I do not suffer from asthma, would the history of the prescribed medications DQ me?
