Weak, breathy voice
Hi, I've posted on here before, my husband had an NSTEMI in June last year and a stent fitted. Since then his recovery hasn't improved and we still haven't got a diagnosis. He is unfit to return to work and he has these episodes which are increasing in number each week. He feels an uncomfortable pain

Has anyone had to give up work because of their heart issues?
Hi all, I have chronic angina and had a stent fitted 6 months ago. I have a very stressful job that gives me palpitations and chest pains. I'm thinking of stopping working but not sure about benefits ( I'm 52 and never been out of work) I know PIP is nigh on impossible to claim but I really can't carry
