Cardiomyopathy travel tips
As a specialist medical travel insurance provider, we believe that everyone has the right to travel, regardless of their medical condition. We have put together these tips on travelling with cardiomyopathy so we can help you enjoy your holiday. These tips should help you anticipate any potential problems you could encounter while on holiday.
Remember to see your doctor before you go
- Before travelling with cardiomyopathy, make an appointment with your doctor to make sure you’re fit to travel. They can also prescribe you the correct medication – enough to last you the length of your trip, plus extra in case of delays.
Carry a copy of your medical records
- If you do need medical help while travelling, doctors will be able to act more quickly if they can access your medical records. You could ask your doctor for a copy of these. You could consider getting these translated into the language of the country (or countries) you’re visiting.
Watch your fluid intake
- In most cases when you are living with cardiomyopathy, it’s essential to maintain a balanced intake of water and salt. This is extra important when you fly, as pressure and humidity changes within the cabin could have an adverse effect on your condition.
Choose a destination with good medical care
- If you have a choice on where to travel to, it’s worth remembering that some countries have much better healthcare than others. If possible, choose a destination where you can get the help you need in an emergency.
Pay attention to shortness of breath
- Shortness of breath can be a warning sign, particularly if you’re on a plane at the time. Inform cabin crew immediately – they’re able to provide emergency treatment if necessary. Try not to panic but don’t ignore it either.
EHIC
- If you’re travelling within Europe, you should make sure you have an EHIC (European Health Insurance Card). This is available for free. The EHIC offers you the same level of healthcare as the residents in the country you’re visiting. Remember though that the EHIC does not replace travel insurance. For example, the EHIC does not cover you for medical transport home (repatriation).
