You could face a £1,000 fine
Drivers with specific medical conditions must declare them to the DVLA to avoid a hefty fine. The DVLA lists 118 conditions that drivers must report, otherwise they could face a £1,000 fine or possible prosecution if an accident happens.
This included allowing specialist nurses and opticians to help fill out medical questionnaire's for applicants, whereas previously only doctors were allowed to do so. If you experience one of the listed conditions, you must let the DVLA know about it, as a medical condition doesn't automatically require a licence surrender, but it may need to be handed over in certain situations that are deemed unsafe.
If you regularly have heart palpitations, which are heartbeats that suddenly become more noticeable and may feel like pounding, fluttering, or irregular beating, the DVLA requires you to inform them.You must tell DVLA if you have hemianopia, which is also called hemianopsia.You must tell DVLA if you have Hodgkin’s lymphoma and any of the following also apply:You must tell DVLA if you have Huntington’s disease and it causes any symptoms.You must tell DVLA if you have hydrocephalus with symptoms.
