Family holiday after heart attack

Posting here to see wwmd and if I'm bu to question going.....

I had a small heart attack last week, we have a holiday booked next week to Scandinavia. Been told I can fly, but obviously, I'm not going to ski.

Been discharged now, and I've seen on the British Heart Foundation website to avoid travel to very hot or very cold countries as it can put added strain on heart. This sounds like a ski trip to me.....

Also, HSBC won't insure me, and DH says as healthcare is free for us in EU not to bother finding it elsewhere. We have family there who are medics too.

I really want to go as not sure DH could ski with the kids on his own totally.

I'm 39 by the way, and slim with clear arteries so not a typical heart patient.

Yes, we've got travel ins all in with our banking. We could get the money back, yes.

If there was no family to visit, I would cxl. And they are all looking forward to skiing enormously.
