medical conditions

Systemic disease states that intermittently or chronically impair driving: epilepsy and seizure disorders, diabetes and hypoglycemia, obstructive sleep apnea, cardiovascular and syncopal events, Parkinson's, and similar chronic illnesses with fitness-to-drive implications. The driver risk arises from an underlying disease process, distinct from cognitive_impairment (specifically mental/dementia deficits), physical_impairment (motor disability), post_concussion (acute TBI), and the substance tags (drug-induced).
