Two days ago woke up at 3AM pouring sweat with a fast and highly irregular heartbeat and high bp. At 7am it was still skipping jumping and my pulse oximeter could hardly get a reading. Sweating only lasted 45 minutes and no chest pain, however with BP still high 165/110 pulse 115 and arrhythmia symbol on BP monitor .and totally irregular pulse all whilst laying down continuing...... I went to the heart hospital Queen Sirkit kku. This place at 8am has turned into an incredible crowd scene the Premium clinic previously tranquil was now packed to rafters no seats total mayhem in the morning be warned and no doc after 11-am. Eventually given ECG in ER showing HR 132BPM and this my first abnormal ECG was AFIB . referred back to premium clinic mayhem area for blood tests, 3 hours later test results showed TroponinT was 15 ngl just over the upper normal limit, last test year ago 7.9 . Incredibly rushed Doc referred me back to ER and seemed not interested maybe because of lack of chest pain, however another doc took over and suggested instead of ER, go home come back in two days at regular evening clinic repeat Ecg and Troponin T, chest Xray and suggested doing a NT-pro BNP test., which I am wondering is this the gold standard heart blood test and how much it would cost roughly? Also with a repeat trop T test 2 days on is it best that decreases dramatically or slightly ? obviously hoping for a ECG normal this time if not and still AFIB i will have to accept the offer of de- coagulants he prescribed Xarelto at 95 baht a day must be a cheaper alternative Warfarin? Thanks for any input.

I appreciate the information thanks and i hope you can stay claim free.

Many thanks! so was the company above?? the one you mentioned for 1200 pounds six months cover duration and 10 million limit with only 150 deductible?? Have you actually made any claims ?did you pay first or paid directly to hospital by insurer? Thanks! info appreciated plenty to work with.

Returning to the Uk soon and will be looking for a policy to cover coming back for visits months at a time. Roughly the same age with diabetes etc , your policy sounds ideal with 10 million cover and such a low 150 excess, could you reveal the company details policy name etc. Many thanks

Much appreciated I,ll give them a try, my last jab was 14 months ago and a close neighbour very recently had covid.

Thanks for that did you mean the main Khon kaen hospital on Sri Chant Road in the city?

Has anyone received a free booster of Pfizer in the khon Kaen city area recently? Thanks for any information.

Some posts regarding major medical claims being paid without problem by their insurers, but perhaps forum policy ? the names of these companies who have reassuringly paid are not provided. The details of these trustworthy companies who settled major claims would be very useful.

Interesting, didnt the government make it illegal to publish video footage from public places on media platforms such as youtube without the permission of the individuals filmed or have i got that wrong. So the hundreds of vloggers are possibly all illegal and did the authorities ask permission to show the people in bars they filmed who are now in the public spotlight.?

My Krungsri account was about 10 months when it was deactivated, any transaction in that time just paying in a couple of hundred baht would have kept it live and saved an awful lot of faffing about at a branch 22 copies of everything and payment to get a new card and activate the account. Lesson learned, today just transferred token amount from my main account to keep it active, could you do similar online transfer from the Uk or have a friend in Thailand who can pay any amount in to the account which will keep it active.

Yet numb nuts and his cronies were at the airport welcoming the first batch of Covid spreaders.

I guess if you do a trip to Laos the land border return entry will also require the proof of vaccination?
