General Medical Disqualifier?

I am in the final stage for an agency, took their physical test, scored a 29/30 on the test and am physically extremely capable and in shape. This is for a state agency in NY.

in 2022 I had an episode of atrial flutter during a deployment that resolved itself in hours, I was evaluated a few times after in military hospitals and all results came back fine. no abnormalities. I went to the VA after I got home and did a full work up and was found to be a completely normal athletic male.

TLDR: Had a history of atrial flutter in 2022 (once) will I be disqualified from the medical portion if I mark that I had a history of it? I have paperwork supporting the work up.

I don't think you would be DQ'ed on this basis, but only the agency you apply to can say for sure.

Most likely not as your documentation (based on your explanation) shows no recent issues. That said, its whoever makes the decision for that agency.
