I have a different waiver on my medical and it didn't even come up in my cpp/ual interview.
Don't worry about it you can't change it and you don't want blood pressure issues...or balding issues. Just keep studying and you'll be at an airline real soon.

Good luck with the medical issue.

SODA
I have a slight color issue so I had to get a SODA and once you get it, it's good for life. Never had a problem with it anywhere I applied.

I remember a time when CAL wouldn't even look at you if you had a SODA.
