Following on from my heart attack....
Discussion
Myocardial Infarction is not notifiable to DVLA or car insurance.
Wait until you need travel insurance...
BTW - to save the grief of constant repeat prescriptions, sign up to someone like pharmacy2u and let them sort it and post it to you. Far easier than a trip to the surgery every 8 weeks to put your prescription request in the box.

I would query some of the advice given on here re notifying DVLA and insurance company.
Whilst the DVLA do not require notification of a heart attack, you are obliged to report the incident to your insurance company.
Quoting from the BHF booklet 'heart matters' ;
Whatever sort of driving licence you have,you may also need to tell your motor insurance company about your surgery.
To not do so may invalidate your insurance at a later date.
After all they are looking for any excuse to refuse any subsequent claim.
I understand that they should not impose any penalty if they are informed at the time.
I am also surprised that you were well enough to resume driving a week after a heart attack.
