I have a heart condition and I know we need to get medicals done some point soon, getting a bit worried, as on the visa it said heart disease which i have not got so put no, i have had my condition all my life and it does not effect me unless i run or walk up hills (like most peaple) when i told my agent he asked if under control and yes as i take tablets, does anyone know if this will effect my visa, very worried and wondering whether to pull out now, have a job offer and really want to go with my husband and start a great new life :laugh:.

 

Hi Imills,

Welcome to BIB.

I have a heart condition that has in the past required me to have a stent fitted in the right Coronary artery. I am on medication for life. I supplied a letter from my doctor to confirm the condition is stable and the medication I take for the condition.

I was also worried about the medical side but I had no problems and they just sent the letter from my doctor with the medical report.

I have been in Australia nearly 2 years now and found the medical care here is first class.

 

thank you for your response, made me feel a bit better, just so worried as dont want to let my hustband down if i fail, Do you think that if i take a letter with me from my specialist it will help, I never take time off work due to the condition, and have never had an operation for it and i feel so much better in warmer weather, hate the cold!!!!
thank you again.

 

A letter from your specialist would help. basically their main concern is what you could cost the Medicare scheme, So a stable condition that does not require surgery should be fine.

 

Just a thought, keep a copy of the letters from Doctor and consultant, so when you get here you can give them to your new doctor, to explain your condition.

 

Thanks Colin, will do, making an app today, have a letter from nov but think get am updated one, fingers x won't ever need op for lasted 45yrs without 1 !!! An still going strong, thank you again for you help will let u know how I get on.
