Travel Insurance for Pulmonary Hypertension

What is pulmonary hypertension?

Pulmonary hypertension is a condition where the blood pressure in the arteries that supply the lungs becomes abnormally high, putting extra strain on the heart. It affects people differently depending on the severity of symptoms and how well it is managed. In the UK, around 7,000 people are living with the condition.

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

How travel insurance can help if you have pulmonary hypertension:

• 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 respiratory condition like pulmonary hypertension

• Speak with your GP or specialist before travelling if you have recently had pulmonary hypertension symptoms
• Keep medication and a copy of your prescription easily accessible
• Plan regular breaks into your itinerary and avoid overexertion
• Find out where the nearest hospital or clinic is before travelling with pulmonary hypertension

If you have been diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension, 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 pulmonary hypertension are complete.

You can still find suitable travel insurance if you have pulmonary hypertension. Options vary with the nature of the condition and how well it is controlled, so give clear and accurate information when you complete the medical declaration.
