What is cyclical vomiting syndrome?
Cyclical vomiting syndrome is a condition characterised by recurring episodes of severe nausea and vomiting with periods of normal health in between. It affects a small number of people in the UK and is considered relatively rare. Symptoms of cyclical vomiting syndrome differ from person to person, but many people successfully manage the condition through medication or ongoing care.
A trip abroad with cyclical vomiting syndrome 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 for cyclical vomiting syndrome 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
