There is an old adage about Money not buying Happiness. The adage is very true; you can have all the money you need or want and be the unhappiest person on earth. Conversely you can be the happiest person on earth and live paycheck to paycheck.
The point I am trying to make here is what do you want out of life. Do you want happiness or do you want money rarely can yoou have both. In your case you also need to factor in how the stress of this job will effect your medical condition, which will effect your happiness and or your future earnings ability.
By default I have had to choose happiness. I had a career ending auto accident. I have found I am much happier and able to live on much less without the stress of my high paying career.
For me it took an auto accident that could have killed me to force a decision on me. You have the luxury of making an informed decision. Whatever you choose will be the right decision for you; just make sure you look at all the factors and not just the money.

Having been in this position and gone both ways on the decision at various companies, I found that the stress wasn't worth the money. There are exceptions of course.
If you find something that you REALLY love doing , but the job is stressful, that isn't as bad as being stressed out over something you dislike doing every day.
With the health issues, I would ask you this: Sure, you are making more money, but... what are you going to do with that money after the stress has put you in an early grave?

You don't seem confident about the position so if
your unsure if you can manage it then don't accept it sure the money is good but the true question is the stress good that comes along with it? I don't
think so you don't want to risk your health conditions becoming worst or being affected if you
do happen to accept the job i could see if you were
confident then that'd be a different story but you seem unsure of what to do ultimately it's your decision but my advice to you is don't accept the offer the pay maybe good but the stress that comes along with it isn't you've got to think is a job worth risking your health over? :)
