what exactly does the medical test entail?

is a blood test taken? if so, would a sleeping tablet show up?

during the past couple of weeks i've taken the occasional sleeping tablet due to not being able sleep because of stress of trying to find a job.

will that show up in a blood test (after a few weeks time) if so, would my visa get rejected?

The medical exam for me went something like this...

You fill out a short medical history questionaire.
They take your height/weight.
They test your eyes.
They test your hearing.
They take your blood pressure.
They take a vial or so of blood.
You pee in a cup.
They X-Ray your chest.

Sleeping tablets? I certainly wouldn't worry about it. Are they over the counter?
