Can A Person With Cardiomyopathy And Congestive Heart Failure Join Army?
I was diagnosed with postpartum cardio heart myopathy and congestive heart failure after having my daughter in 2006. I am and have been healthy since 2007. Does this eliminate my chance at joining the Army? I am a 26 yr old female and am 5'3 and weigh 160 lbs. I know I can lose a some weight prior to enlisting. But can I enlist?

DEAR USER,
THANKS FOR CONSULTING WITH HCM
I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN.. BUT JOINING ARMY DEPENDS ON WHICH COUNTRY YOU STAY AND THE PROTOCOLS FOLLOWED BY THE ARMY THERE
HOWEVER I SUGGEST YOU NOT TO JOIN IF ITS AREA WHERE YOU HAVE TO DO HEAVY EXERCISE.. HOWEVER THERE ARE CERTAIN JOBS IN ARMY WHICH ARE MORE RELATED TO TECHNICAL FIELD AND NOT GROUND WORK WHERE YOUR DISEASE WONT INTERFERE WITH YOUR WORK
HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
