I had bypass surgery (7 artery) in 1993. I had just returned from a 3 year assignment overseas and wasn't fllying at the time. A few years later I went for a physical and had to take a stress test with a radioactive injection and x-ray. I also had to have a blood test for sugar and cholesteral. The whole process took about 3 months.
I have to repeat these tests once a year even though I have a 3rd class medical. I have never had any problelm passing the tests. You just have to remember to start the tests about 3 months before your medical expires.
