Does the military care if I had stress anxiety once?

Unfortunately it’s documented. My heart beat went up really high once for about an hour so I went to the doctor. My cardio test results were excellent but the conclusion was that I had stress anxiety at the time.

Is this in anyway a problem? Can I tell my doctor to scratch that off my record?

lol. I’m pretty sure its ilegal to get ur doctor to lie about something like that for you.
Just talk to your recruiter. Unless it was a reacurring thing i doubt it would be that much of a problem.
EDIT- I just read Mr Puma’s answer. Maybe it is problem

my suggestion is just dont mention it when you are going in to enlist. there are a couple of documented things on my medical records that I knew would keep me out of the Army so I just didnt tell anyone. I passed all of the physicals and made it in. If anyone I would tell my recruiter (he/she would tell you exactly how to handle that as far as the military goes).
this may not be the best idea but it worked for me and a couple of my fellow soldiers.
