Covid-19 & Afib

[Vicki1709]

Hi

I'm in a dilemma, I am on medication and further tests re Afib. I'm having tests as up until January my Afib had been very stable.

Since January I seem to be having episodes everyday.

I don't want to overreact but are you socially isolating including speaking to employer to arrange to work from home? I am on medication for high blood pressure but it is reasonably stable. I also have a 7mm ophthalmic artery aneurysm. Which surgery as been put on hold due to Covid-19.

I do get offered a flu jab every year.

I'm an Operations Manager for a Care Provider, so it is possible to work from home. But don't want to be in the wrong for asking.

Hi Vicki as I understand it anyone who can work from home is requested to do so to prevent unnecesary travel and this is irrespective of health conditions. I am retired but have relatives who are working from home.

You could ask .

See below...

''businesses and workplaces should encourage their employees to work at home, wherever possible''

Without a doubt, if your job can be done at home there is no good reason for you to put yourself at risk. Best of luck.
