I've been off 7 days, the doc has given me an extra 7 days due to no improvement. I went off with chest pains due to anxiety/stress. I need blood tests and medication.

Do i give the note when i go back??

Your doctor can email it to you and you can then email it to your manager.

Tell work you have a note covering you up to x date, and will provide it as soon as you can.

Then post, email or drop it in whenever you can.

Most managers *should* be fine with that. Important thing is to keep your manager informed.
