Find the best blocked arteries travel insurance

Medical costs abroad can be very expensive and without adequate insurance cover you can end up facing financial hardship if you suffer from a health-related problem while abroad. If you do not reveal your full state of health and then later make a claim on your insurance, it could be invalid and you'd be left to cover full medical and repatriation costs back to the UK.

There are numerous options to help you choose the right medical travel cover from those available in the market today. The good thing about travelling abroad when you are fully insured, but perhaps not in the best of health, is that you can relax and unwind while away knowing you are covered.

Can I travel by air with blocked arteries?

Firstly, check with your doctor. Aeroplane cabins are pressurised but typically to an effective altitude of about 8,000 feet, so the air is thinner putting more of a strain on your cardio-vascular system. This altitude should be quite safe for travel but with a potentially compromised cardio-vascular system, you should seek your doctor's approval. If you need to take medication with you it is worth carrying your doctor's letter and repeat prescription note with you too. That stops any problems with airport security if they think you are importing illegal drugs!

You do not normally need to inform the airline about your medical condition unless you need special arrangements on (or to get to) the plane but check with your doctor.
