Travelling with a pre-existing heart condition like angina requires extra care. With InsureandGo, you can focus on enjoying your trip knowing you’re protected. Wherever you’re heading, we’ll be here with you.

Can you get travel insurance if you have angina?

Managing angina doesn’t mean you have to put your travel dreams on hold. In the UK, around 8% of men and 3% of women aged 55-64 years have or have had angina. And the prevalence increases with age for both men and women. 

Travel insurance is essential, especially if you’re living with angina. About 2 million people in the UK have angina. And some 200,000 are referred to hospitals each year for further tests. 

Stay covered whether your trip is relaxing or action-packed. Our angina travel insurance ensures you’re fully protected while abroad.

Here are a few more benefits to consider:

• Covers emergency healthcare costs. Angina symptoms can flare up suddenly. That’s why access to immediate medical care is crucial. Treatment for chest pain, access to medication; treatment abroad can be costly. Travel insurance covers these expenses. So you can get the care you need without financial stress.

• Helps with medication replacement. Losing or misplacing vital heart medication can feel overwhelming. Especially if you’re in a country where pharmacies may not stock specific medication. Angina travel insurance covers the costs of replacing your medication. We can also help you find suitable nearby pharmacies.

• Covers cancellations due to health issues. In our 2024 survey, 48% said cancellation cover¹ was their most important travel insurance feature. Angina can sometimes mean having to cancel or delay travel plans. With the right travel insurance, you’re protected against non-refundable costs. This includes flights and hotels. Plus pre-booked activities if your health prevents you from travelling.

• Covers repatriation costs. In rare cases, a serious angina-related episode may require returning home for further treatment. It cost one UK traveller in Spain £124,000 for an air ambulance home. Travel insurance helps avoid this cost.

• 24/7 emergency helpline. If you have a health concern while away, our emergency helpline is available 24/7. If you experience angina symptoms while away, we’re here to help. Call our medical helpline for angina advice or if you need help finding a local healthcare practitioner.

Don’t compromise on adventure or relaxation. Just declare your condition, and we can tailor a policy to your needs.

Before booking, review our policy wording to understand what’s included. Be sure to check the latest travel advice on GOV.uk. Travelling against their advice may invalidate your policy.

What types of angina does InsureandGo’s travel insurance cover?

We understand the unique concerns of travellers living with angina. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or in remission. We consider all angina-related requirements. 

Here’s how we can help:

Newly diagnosed angina. Angina affects 2-3% of the population. This is around two million men and women in the UK. If you’ve been diagnosed with stable angina, we can cover you. You just need your doctor to confirm you’re fit to travel. It’s important to declare all conditions you may have. Then we’ll cover any related incidents.

Angina with additional cardiac conditions. It’s not uncommon for angina to be linked to other heart conditions. For example, coronary artery disease or heart attacks. If you are, we’ll factor this into your policy. Again, be sure to declare all related conditions.

Angina in remission. Is your angina symptom-free? You must still declare it as a pre-existing condition. For full cover, declare if you’ve:

• Visited a doctor regarding your angina in the past 24 months.
• Experienced any chest pain or related symptoms.
• Had tests or scans, like an ECG or angiogram.
• Undergone surgery or received treatment.
• Take any medication.

We aim to make travelling with angina stress-free and enjoyable. Our policy wording gives detailed terms and conditions, or contact our team for assistance.
