I'm more than slightly overweight and my BMI put me into the category to be referred to a Network Rail Dr due to risk of sleep apnoea. Due to everything else being OK like Blood Pressure, it was deemed I'm not at high enough risk and so was passed. Had to wait another 2-3 weeks after original medical to find out though.I’m slightly overweight so I’m concerned that my BMI will be too high and I’ll fail.
BMI alone won't fail you (don't know about Network Rail internal medicals, mine was with Optima) but it will be taken into consideration alongside your other results.
Definitely something I've now started working on though, as I'd like to pass the next few medicals also.
