Travel Insurance for a Brain Aneurysm

A brain aneurysm is a weakened or bulging area in the wall of a blood vessel in the brain. It can affect people in many different ways, depending on the severity of symptoms and how easy it is to manage. In the UK, around 1 in 50 people are estimated to have an unruptured brain aneurysm.

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.

Having the right travel insurance in place can help to cover:

  • Emergency medical treatment if your condition worsens during your trip
  • Hospital stays and related medical expenses abroad
  • Medical repatriation to the UK if further treatment is needed
  • Cancellation costs if you have to cancel your trip for medical reasons

Travel advice for people with a circulatory condition

  • Speak with your doctor before travelling if your condition has recently changed
  • Keep medication and medical information with you at all times
  • Avoid situations that may trigger symptoms where possible
  • Take regular breaks if fatigue or dizziness affects you

During the quote process, we will ask about any pre-existing medical conditions, including circulatory conditions. If relevant, you will need to declare this on the policy.

Many travellers with existing medical conditions can still arrange travel insurance. The level of cover we can offer varies depending on the details of your diagnosis and how your condition is currently managed. Being honest and accurate when completing your medical declaration helps us to bring forward the most suitable cover options.
