    You can’t insure against symptoms which you already have, if that’s what you’re thinking.

    You can pay for the tests you want out of your own pocket by going private, but the insurance won't cover this, since you've already had investigations.

    As others have said, anything you can go out and buy will exclude anything you already have so thats a no go. 

    Some corporate schemes do cover all pre-existing conditions without any medical underwriting so the only hope you'd have of having insurance pay would be to check with your employer about what scheme, if any, they offer to someone at your seniority in the organisation. 

    In the absence of PMI your choice is NHS or pay privately
