Scared of NAMI
Ok so I’ve got a question for a friend:

Said friend has had a little bit of a heart flutter for a few years. Every so often it happens - his heart seems to skip a beat or two, and then overcorrect by pounding hard and fast for a few seconds. While this happens his breath gets a little stuttered as well. Up until recently, it only happened every few months. He thought nothing of it. Now, however, it’s been happening more frequently- about once or twice a month.

He’s also been experiencing more shortness of breath.

That said, he’s an SNA, and is now in pre-primary. What will happen to him when he tells a flight doc?

You seem to know a lot about, "this friend".

Your friend will almost certainly be referred to NAMI for further evaluation. Their findings will drive what happens after that. Sorry, not a definitive answer, but there isn't enough information in your post for even conjecture.
