I plan on getting a medical done soon, and I want to have a first class done, because that way, I know I'll be able to pass one later. My question is as follows. 1 and 1/2 years ago, I had a migrane headache, and again last year I had another migrane. They wern't severe and they weren't reoccuring. Both of these migranes were caused by me not eating for a few days, because I'm trying to loose weight. Well, I know better now and I don't do that any more. The questions 1) Should I tell the AME when I go in for my medical, 2) would this be disqualifying for any sort of medical certificit, and 3) what are the consiquinces of not telling the AME and FAA of these events. Also, I have no other disqualifying traits.

Are you sure you had a migrane? Just report that you had several headaches only if you went to a doctor, and report the outcome of that visit. If they have not reoccured I would not be concerned.
