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

In case anyone is still wondering about this question, a heart murmur does not affect your chances of being in the military very much. Unless they find it or it’s something actively causing problems, I wouldn’t even mention it. They found one during my husbands flight physical which is very hard to pass and told him it wasn’t even a concern because it is very minor. Also, I was diagnosed with one at 6 and 6 years later it was gone.

Kind of depends where you are in the process and how bad the Army wants you. Was the doc at MEPS? Anyway you are going to a Cardiologist, come clean with them. I can not remember the exact wording of the SF 93, but I do believe it asks if you ever had, but hell I don't remember much I was told at 6. It is common to grow out of them and a minor one is not a big deal. I saw people in the Navy that had a slight murmur. Standards are different of course, but the Army has Profiles, the Navy doesn't, so they may give you one of them. So I doubt it will be a big deal, but be prepared.

Do just that. Play dumb. You are not a Doctor and heart murmurs are often anything but. Irregular heart beat is a very common occurrence. It can be brought on by too much caffein, extended periods of exercise and other things. I have had one for years and retired after 32 years in the Military. I have never failed a PT test or failed to take one. I have scored numerous 300's as well. So unless you have in your medical records where a DOCTOR stated in writing you were at risk of heart problems due to a murmur then you should be fine. However under stand this. If years from now you have heart complications due to a heart murmur you will most likely NOT get a medical discharge. Then your little white lie will most likely come back to haunt you.

Clearly you didn't take your "friends" advice to play dumb since you're posting this question on a public forum.

Doesn't matter. They found it already. You'll definitely find out soon enough. But, you are an adult. Don't lie. PERIOD. That's a great way for meps too kick you out without the chance of getting thru. Meps always figures out things. Good luck. Next time, be honest, it shows what kind of person you are to whoever you won't lie to.

No. I said no marijuana. Told exam Dr. He said not to tell. Found out every flier I flew with experimented with pot and also lied.

No

Prison for you lil boy

Yeah, stfu!

I went in with a murmur. I let them know at MEPS because murmurs are softly audible with a stethoscope, hence the name. The doc at MEPS (despite having it confirmed by 3 cardiologists) literally crossed it off my form. I still have it, crossed of and all, in my medical records. I was lucky enough to have my repair surgery after my EAS, but years ahead of when predicted. Aside from whether to say or not say anything, even the rigors of the military can play a factor in how your condition plays out. Either way, listen to your heart, both literally and figuratively, even if you weren't to enter service. It can save your life. Best of luck either way!
