Travel Insurance for Migraines

Travelling with migraines may require a little more preparation, but for many people it doesn’t mean putting holiday plans on hold.

What are migraines?

Migraines are a neurological condition that causes recurring headaches, often accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, and visual disturbances. It affects approximately 10 million people in the UK. While symptoms can vary, many individuals successfully manage their condition through medication or ongoing care.

A diagnosis doesn’t necessarily mean giving up on travel - with the right preparation and medical advice, many people with migraines continue to travel safely and enjoy holidays abroad.

Here’s why travel insurance matters when travelling with a medical condition:

• 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 migraines

• Take medication at the same times you normally would at home
• Ensure you have enough medication for the duration of your trip
• Avoid triggers that may worsen symptoms where possible
• Allow time for rest if fatigue affects you

When completing the medical declaration, it's important to read the questions carefully, and declare this condition where required.

We can provide travel insurance for travellers who have been diagnosed with a wide range of medical conditions. The type of cover available can depend on how severe the condition is and how it is managed. For that reason, it’s important to answer all medical declaration questions honestly and accurately.
