right axis deviation

[sc929]

I had a ECG/EKG recently as part of the employment process for a firefighter position.  The doctor did not clear me because of a right axis deviation.  I am a tall, thin male and very athletic.  From what I have read this is normal for my build.  Is this true and will the stress test show if I am OK or there really is a problem.  I asked the doctor if this could be normal for my build (tactfully) and he said he had never heard or read that but it is everywhere I look.  This job means everything to me and this is the final step, I have passed all other testing including aceing the physical portion.  I take a stress test tomorrow but have never taken one and don't know what to expect except the normal protocol for this test.  I am not in a position where I can just go get an approval from a cardiologist and my whole future rides on this approval.  I have the results in front of me and I is neg, II is positive, III is positive, and aVF is positive.  QRS for the axis is 95 and can give any more info needed if someone can help me out or tell me where I can print some sort of authoritive document or study showing this could be possible and normal.  Thanks in advance.

Your doctor was stupid for making you go through unnecessary tests for right axis. This is completely normal for a young adult. It is just a finding and has to be interpreted on the context of symptoms. Extremes of defense medicine avoiding chance of litigation. Subjecting somebody to unnecessary anxiety for normal things because in other situations it can be abnormal... God bless America. By the way according to many people the definition for normal axis is 0-100. That means 95 degree axis is normal.
