To be honest, waiting one more year with a 1998 caravan isn't going to affect your resale value much, yes, there are possible storage and maintenance costs but, if you were well this wouldn't matter and you will be well in the future. The extra cost of having to replace everything if you were to sell now before you have reached your full potential should be considered.
I notice your wife telling you to get rid of the caravan is causing you considerable stress.
Sit your wife down and have a proper discussion, set a timeline to discuss the van in say 9 months, explain to her that the stress over the van isn't helping. Ask her for the sake of your stress levels to leave discussion until the agreed date.
Why is your wife so keen to let it go, has she perhaps had enough?
You could always put your caravan on a seasonal pitch for this year. A local site or a site in easy reach of a simple train journey would work.
Your blood pressure is being deliberately kept low at the moment to avoid stress on the stent, this will be able to be looked at again in the future. Your body will gradually learn to adjust to your lower BP. If you are suffering dizziness due to it dropping when you get up, get a drink before rising in the mornings. Eat little and often as a large meal will cause blood to rush to your stomach leaving you feeling tired and perhaps dizzy. Ask your Doctor or nurse to check you for postural hypotension (dropping BP when you first get up from a rest) it can be sorted. Take a regular nap to aid recovery.
I think possibly the most important thing for you currently is to book a break, it's low season book a cottage somewhere close by and have a break. Owning a caravan doesn't exclude you from booking a cottage, hotel, guest house etc.
My brother in law had stents fitted 10 years ago he took early retirement thinking he hadn't long! He started with gently walks alternate days gradually increasing the frequency and distance. !0 years later he is cycling long distances on a racing bike looking 15 years younger than he did.
Recovery takes time, much longer than any of us think. Get a break without the van booked then go from there. If your caravan sits and melts in storage does it really matter as long as you gain joy from its potential future use?

) but since I have driven through France Spain Germany Holland been up to Scotland watch out for mountains in Scotland the air is thinner at the top not good for the likes of me and you 
and this year bought a new camper van I find it easier than caravaning.
