Looking for travel insurance advice
I was lucky enough to discover that I required a stent before i suffered any
heart
damage, my clinician says there are no concerns about ongoing
health
issues, and i am minimal risk - where can i find fair travel insurance that acknowledges this?

Apixaban and subconjunctival haemorrhage.
After taking Apixaban for 6 days (2x5mg, daily) I woke this morning with a subconjunctival haemorrhage in the left eye. Yesterday, the eye had been bloodshot and itchy; I had hoped that it was just conjunctivitis and would clear up. As I had a similar subconjunctival haemorrhage three years ago, two

Ideas on how to cope with anxiety/depression?
Does anyone have any recommendations on how to deal with awful anxiety when given a horrendous test result? This is by far the worst I have felt since diagnosis over 4 years ago and I see my Onco on Monday who I know is going to give me an awful life expectancy.

Strange reactions to surgery.
I had heart surgery about 15 months ago and have had to deal with a lot of complications. A stroke being the main one. A couple of the smaller issues got buried, but I was wondering if anyone identified. I jump out of my skin at sudden noises such as the phone ringing. I also well up at emotional moments

New to Apixaban
Having been diagnosed with Arrhythmia, I will shortly start taking 5mg Apixaban twice a day. This causes me much concern. Will I be able to lead a normal life, eg play golf, go abroad on holiday etc and will I be able to have a couple of glasses of wine each day? I am currently a regular social drinker

. It happened again at the turn of the year and I was given pill in the pocket. It has happened 3 times this week and I have to go back for a reassessment. All my attacks happen either during the night or first thing in the morning.

Have to be very selfish in order to look after your own arthritis
as people with arthritis can develop
heart
and lung problems later on when there is constant inflammation.
