What is restless leg syndrome?
Restless leg syndrome is a neurological condition that causes an uncontrollable urge to move the legs, often accompanied by uncomfortable sensations. In the UK it affects roughly 10% of people. Symptoms of restless leg syndrome can often be managed with treatment or lifestyle adjustments.
With the right preparation, medical guidance, and suitable travel insurance, many people who manage restless leg syndrome with medication or supervision continue to travel abroad with confidence.
Why it’s worth having travel insurance if you have restless leg syndrome:
- 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
