Here's my thoughts:
I'm trying to decode your writing. You did a DOT physical exam with your own doc? Is he DOT certified? If not, it doesn't count. "He put CVA" I don't understand. TIA's either but I guess they must need medication. If you doctor is familiar with DOT regulations he/she must have gone over the prescriptions and given you clearances as needed.

You started mumbling something about waiting five years. What is that for?

A 100% good physical is good for two years. And a 1 year exam, because of meds or blood pressure is not uncommon. Way better than a 6 month clearance!

Basically he had a transient ischemic attack (TIA) which are often labeled as "mini-strokes". A CVA, or Cerebrovascular accident, is a sudden death of some brain cells due to a lack of oxygen when the blood flow to the brain is impaired by blockage or rupture of an artery to the brain (IE an actual stroke).

I believe, though I am not positive, that if you have had too many TIA's/CVA's you may have to wait until you show a long enough time without having a repeat attack, more of a safety concern for not only you but other motorist that you will be sharing the road with. It could also be the medication that they have you on as well that might be the hold up, but without the full story on it it is hard to determine what the 5 year thing is offhand.

CVA- Cerebrovascular Accident: The sudden death of some brain cells due to lack of oxygen when the blood flow to the brain is impaired by blockage or rupture of an artery to the brain. A CVA is also referred to as a stroke. Symptoms of a stroke depend on the area of the brain affected.

TIA - When blood flow to part of the brain stops for a short period of time, also called Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), it can mimic stroke-like symptoms. These symptoms appear and last less than 24 hours before disappearing. While TIAs generally do not cause permanent brain damage, they are a serious warning sign that a stroke may happen in the future and should not be ignored.
