I think you will have to be more specific about the condition in order for someone to advise.

Or ring the DVLA with details of your condition!

I’ve just looked on Dvla and for example it lists conditions as AF, Arrhythmia, palpitations, heart failure and many more that one needs to notify them. You can print off a form from their website
