A:
In Arizona, if you have medical issues that could affect your ability to perform a field sobriety test, it's essential to communicate this to the police officers at the time of the test. They should take your medical condition into consideration and make appropriate adjustments to the testing procedures if necessary.
However, whether the test is considered valid or not would depend on the specific circumstances, your medical condition, and how the police handled the situation.
