What is angina?
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. Symptoms of angina differ from person to person, but many people successfully manage the condition through medication or ongoing care.
A trip abroad with angina 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.
What travel insurance can cover if you have 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 like angina
- Speak with your GP or specialist before travelling if you’ve recently had angina symptoms
- Keep your angina medication and a copy of your prescription easily accessible
- Plan your itinerary with regular breaks so you avoid overexertion
- Find out where the nearest hospital or medical clinic is at your destination
If you have been diagnosed with angina, you might need to declare it when applying for travel insurance. Take care to read the medical declaration fully, so the details you give about your angina are complete.
Cover is still available for people with angina. What we can arrange depends on how well the condition is controlled, so providing clear details in the medical declaration helps us offer the most appropriate cover.
