Can I get travel insurance if I have angina?
You may be able to get travel insurance with Staysure if you have angina.

You’ll also need to let us know if you have an underlying heart condition causing your angina.
Having the right policy in place means you can relax and enjoy your travels. Hopefully that’s the last time you’ll have to worry about angina on your trip. But if something happens, our medical experts are here 24/7 to help you get the care you need.
Why get travel insurance for angina with Staysure?
We’re specialists in covering pre-existing medical conditions, including angina.
Our medical screening makes it simple to tell us about your conditions, or you can call us if you prefer.
We provide 24/7 emergency medical assistance worldwide while abroad.

How Staysure travel insurance for angina works in three easy steps
To get cover, you’ll need to declare your angina and any other pre-existing conditions to us when getting a quote for travel insurance. We make it easy to tailor a quote to your trip and condition.
1. Tell us about your trip
We’ll need a few quick details to get started:
If you need cover for one trip or multiple trips.
Who the insurance is for.
Where you’re going and how long for.
2. Let us know about your angina
Our simple medical screening helps us understand you better and the care you could need abroad.
Some of the things we’ll need to know about:
If you’ve had certain treatments like a stent
Any heart attacks you’ve had
Don’t forget to let us know about any other pre-existing medical conditions, including ones related to or causing your angina.
3. Get your quote
If you complete the screening and we can cover you, your tailored quote will be available to view online, and emailed to you. It includes travel insurance tailored to cover your condition(s).
Explore and choose from three levels of cover to suit your needs (as below).
Choose optional add-ons to tailor your quote to your trip, including winter sports or cruise plus benefits.
Feel reassured that you have emergency medical cover if angina interrupts your trip. This includes 24/7 emergency medical support while abroad, and cover for hospital treatment, tests, and specialist cardiac care.
We know how important it is to have your medicines at hand to help you manage your angina or treat a flare up. But if anything is lost, damaged or stolen, it can be tricky to track down medicines and equipment abroad. With our Comprehensive and Signature policies, we offer Personal Assistance Services for situations just like this. We’ll help you find a pharmacy and so you can replace them as a matter of urgency. Please note the cost of replacement medicines is not a covered expense.
Our 24-hour medical emergency assistance team are there to support you every step of the way. If you need emergency treatment, they’ll help you locate suitable facilities and arrange direct payments to hospitals. And if angina means you need to cut your trip short or get back home (repatriation), your safe return is our priority. Our medical experts will arrange your transport and we’ll cover the costs.

Having angina doesn’t always mean you’ll have to pay higher premiums for travel insurance. The cost of your travel insurance quote is tailored to your individual circumstances and travel plans.
Things we may consider include:
Your pre-existing conditions.
Your age, the destination, and how long you’re travelling.
Any other activities you want to cover, like winter sports.

Pre-travel checklist for travelling with angina
Before you book your trip, it’s a good time to visit your GP and check that you’re well enough to travel and enjoy any activities you might be planning –including whether you’re fit to fly, or fit to travel or cruise.
Speak to your doctor or a pharmacist about any vaccinations you might need, and whether you’re up to date with flu or COVID-19 vaccines.
Think about your destination – it may be wise to avoid very hot or cold climates, and stay below an altitude of 2,000 metres.
Consider which activities are realistic for you – this may include how easy your accommodation is to get to and how much walking you’ll do.
Check your medicines are in date and that you have enough for your whole trip, including if there are any delays.
Leave yourself enough time to order any extra medicines.
Check any restrictions on travelling with medication in the country you’re visiting, including whether you need a signed doctor’s letter, which you can check with the country’s embassy.
Give yourself plenty of time when planning your travel to and from your destination so that you don’t feel stressed or have to rush around.
At Staysure, we know travelling with angina needs careful planning and reliable insurance cover.

Tips for travelling with angina
Here’s are some things you’ll want to pack and keep with you while you’re out and about.
Any medicines you’ve been prescribed to help you manage a flare up, like your GTN spray
An electric fan – keeping yourself calm and cool in a warm climate can help keep any angina symptoms at bay
Layers for cold climates – low body temperature can bring on angina symptoms, so wrap up warm if you’re headed somewhere chilly
Hydration – dehydration can make your heart work faster, so drink plenty of fluids throughout the day
Compression stockings – keep your circulation going in your legs while sitting for longer periods, like flights or day trips during your travels
A list of your medicines – if you need medical treatment while away, a doctor will need to know what medicines you take
The phone number of the local emergency services and where to find your nearest emergency department
Your GHIC or EHIC card – remember, this doesn’t replace travel insurance
The emergency contact number of your travel insurance provider – they’ll be able to help arrange assistance if you become unwell
Your doctor is the best person to advise on physical activity with angina. Guidance depends on how angina affects you and whether you have any underlying heart conditions.
When planning holiday activities with angina, your doctor can help you consider:
What type of activities you can do and how long for
Your action plan for any angina symptoms
How to warm up and cool down, and when to take a break
Hopefully, your trip won’t be interrupted by an angina attack. Planning your activities, resting regularly and avoiding overexertion can help keep symptoms at bay.
It’s worth refreshing your memory on what to do if you do have a flare up by speaking to your doctor about your angina management plan.
Remember:
Never ignore chest pain or breathlessness
If you’re having a flare up, take any medicines as prescribed
Contact emergency services if your medication isn’t helping
Local emergency services are your first point of contact for an angina attack. After this, call the Staysure emergency helpline for further assistance, which may include arranging hospital costs and making sure you’re in the best place for treatment.
Common questions for travelling with Angina
If you’re newly diagnosed or your condition has changed, you should see your GP before booking a trip to get a fit to fly check, or fit to cruise or travel.
Many people with angina or heart conditions can fly. This may depend on factors like whether your condition is stable, whether your blood pressure is well controlled, and if you’ve recently had surgery.
Cold weather can affect your heart and circulation. For some people, cold weather worsens angina symptoms.
In general, people with angina are advised to avoid extreme temperatures. But you might still be able to visit cold destinations if you check with your doctor first and take steps to stay warm.
Hot weather can put extra strain on your heart. It’s also important to stay hydrated, as dehydration can raise your blood pressure.
In general, people with angina are advised to avoid extreme temperatures. However, you may still be able to visit warm destinations, provided you check with your doctor and take steps to stay cool.
Enjoying new food and indulging in treats is an important part of travel for many, even with angina. As long as your overall diet is balanced and supports your heart health, you should still be able to relax and enjoy food on your trip.
You may find the following advice helpful:
Very salty meals can raise your blood pressure
Some people find that large, rich meals worsen angina symptoms
Cutting down on alcohol
In an emergency, contact the local emergency services first, and then call our 24-hour emergency helpline. Our team will help arrange your care, find the most appropriate place for treatment and follow up care.
If you or someone on your policy is admitted to hospital or your outpatient treatment is likely to cost more than £350, contact us as soon as possible. Where you have a valid claim, and your medical expenses exceed £350 we will look to settle the bill directly with the medical provider where possible.
If you have a non-urgent medical concern, such as sickness, headaches, or mild pain, contact our helpline first for advice on where to go for assistance.
As good as travel insurance is, some things can’t be covered.
You’re not covered for:
Travelling against your doctor’s advice

Routine check-ups, planned treatment or non-emergency care
Travel for medical procedures abroad
Reimbursement for lost, damaged or stolen medicines or equipment
Incidents related to alcohol or controlled substances
Strike action that was common knowledge at the time of booking
Choosing private treatment when suitable public facilities are available
Choosing not to travel
