Not really, unless you count angina, diabetes, a blocked artery, high blood pressure, panic attacks........0 -

as i said.........Originally Posted by maxmycardagain
I have a blocked artery, ive had an angiogram, i have tablets for diabetes, blood pressure, cholestorol and beta-blockers
I have chest pains if i walk 100yds, i have to stop to get my breath back
Any tension, stress or difficult situation (including heavy traffic whilst driving) brings on palpatations (im not even sure WHAT angina is)
am i a possible candidate for IB or DLA?
my specialist told me im i needed a stent or bypass but later that it wasnt worth doing and id have to stay on tablets....
so if i dont have to walk far ill be ok
our bus stop is 200 yds though......so with no other driver in the household im kinda stuck0 -
