I lied at MEPS. Will they go back and look through my medical records?

I've had a heart murmur my whole life, I spent 10yrs active as well. You need to come clean and tell your recruiter because even if they clear you medically, you have lied and can there will be consequences later.

First, no infantry for you, Son. Second, if you want to be honest, doubt it. Third, ... House said, "People lie." I'd would add it to ", unless a person understand the ramification of the loss that will incur to him/her." So, don't lie. Don't mention it. Don't remember it. And if you able to get in and die from it, don't blame me for it.

The will now, dumbass.

You need mentorship because to post this on here is like calling the bank and placing and order for a bank robbery it’s not going to end well.

They won’t pay you for prior illiness, before entry, but I say go for it. It can heal itself. Are you in the Military Now??????

A heart murmur is a waiverable item. I retired in 2015 and mine followed me my intire career. Spent time in the Active Army, Reserves and Nation Guard and retired from the Air Force in a flying position. Don't sweat it but I agree you should have been honest and disclosed your previous diagnosis. That alone could come back to haunt you.

I wouldn't be super worried about looking back to when you were 6 years old (I wouldn’t report it cause so many kids get this diagnosis and grow out of it). Many kids are diagnosis or it is mentioned that a heart murmur is found but by their teens it is no longer heard. I would be more interested in what workup is currently being done for you if you still have an audible heart murmur as an adult. This can be an indicator of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy which is a common, yet under diagnosed cardiac issue that can be life threatening in some situations if not properly recognized and treated. If they are not doing a good workup (Echocardiogram, ECG, lab work (NT-proB-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP)) then you should seek this out. If you have any family history of sudden cardiac death (anyone died under age 55) then you should definitely get this checked out before you start intense exercise. I work in cardio and we specialize if this and many other rare (not so rare just MD's don't look for it) disease.

Heart murmurs are extremely common, as well as PVCs (Pre-ventricular contractions). I did a career with one. Should not be a problem. But...do not enlist under fraudulent pretense. That's what I call a bad start. Honor, courage and commitment still mean something to many.

You should tell them immediately. Remind them you were six. I doubt your memory is that good. I mean, who remembers anything from six? Broken bones? Yes. Chicken Pox? Yes. But a heart murmur? No one even knows what that means at six years old.

Just "by the way" or "oh crap, I just remembered." Again, you were S I X. I think you will be ok.

Oh, and STOP DOING IT!

When under going my AFROTC flight Physical I was asked if I had had asthma. I told them as infant/toddler I had it but was treated and never had it again. They checked me for asthma and confirmed I did not have it. Passed that and all subsequent physicals. Always best to be honest. They will look for it and if they don't find a problem you are good to go. Why take the chance of a fraudulent enlistment.
