2. well you have to declare about the heart issue
but as long as you stick to the follow-up plans.

based on your story (got ST depression during stress test),
may suggest of partial coronary blockage,
everything should be well and good

work that require stamina/ physical endurance will be unfit for you

3. drug thinners commonly used are aspirin or glycin-coated aspirin (for lesser stomach upset)
- you'll be advised to take this lifelong as preventive measures

there's another blood-thinning med, named clopidogrel (or plavix)
this one usually for the sometime only (like 6-9months, depends on the coronary status)
- this one termed as medical therapy (as there is another method to break the clot, named Per-Cutaneous Intervention, PCI. this is a minimally invasive procedure)

as for side effect, most common is stomach upset.
thus, take the meds with/after meals

4. can. it's possible. just don't push yourself too hard.
if starts to feel chest tightness, take a break

the drug thinners or PCI, both are under reperfusion therapy.
after completing therapy, the clot should be no more.
but need to stick with the single blood thinner + cholesterol meds to avoid new blockage

6. discuss with your agent
as you brought the plans before this incident,
insurance coverage should be no problem

7. any heart specialist (cardiologist) or internal medicine specialist will do.
just don't forget to bring all the test results

thanks.

hah, I have to take blood thinners for the rest of my life? why?

I known one of my friend's mother took blood thinners, one day she felt dizzy and vomitted, just passed away macam tu.

it's for prevention.

heart attack caused by vessel occlusion,

blood thinner reduces the tendency for our blood to form clot on its own

sudden death may due to massive heart attack
- what happen here is multiple heart vessels are occluded at the same time

our heart can't live long without oxygen (lesser than 4min)
