My heart doc wants to do the shock thing but with me not having insurance they have been putting it off. My heart doctor also says I need a stress test again too, but again with no insurance it has been put off another 6 months . Is there anything I can do to help my situration. Most insurance copanies will not insure me because of the hart condition. I had triple bypass almost a year ago and my heart has been in A-fib off & on ever since.
