Travel Insurance for Angina

Travelling with angina may require a little more preparation, but for many people it doesn’t mean putting holiday plans on hold. Angina is a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle that affects approximately two million people in the UK. While symptoms can vary, many individuals successfully manage their condition through medication or ongoing care.

Travelling with a medical condition can take a little extra planning, but if your condition is stable and you’ve spoken with your doctor, there’s often no reason you can’t still enjoy a holiday abroad.

Here’s why travel insurance matters when travelling with angina:

• Emergency medical treatment abroad if your condition causes complications
• Hospital treatment and medical expenses during your trip
• Repatriation to the UK if you need to return home for further care
• Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition

Travel advice for people with a heart condition

• Speak with your GP or specialist before travelling if you have recently experienced symptoms
• Keep medication and a copy of your prescription easily accessible
• Plan your itinerary so you can take regular breaks and avoid overexertion
• Consider where the nearest hospital or medical clinic is located at your destination

If you have been diagnosed with angina, you might need to declare it when applying for travel insurance. Read the medical declaration carefully to make sure.

Travel insurance is still available if you’ve been diagnosed with a medical condition. However, the cover options offered vary depending on the nature of the condition and how well it is controlled. Providing clear and accurate information during your medical declaration helps to make sure that the most appropriate cover is arranged.
