Holiday insurance after heart attack

Thanks.   I knew about the motor insurance side.  I have a normal car license.  You do have to notify DVLC if you have a pacemaker fitted rather than just stents though.  It's all new territory to me and quite a shock.  I thought I was invincible!  

 

My experience is that "good" car insurers don't increase the premium unless DVLA impose restrictions, cheap insurers probably would want more money - you must inform your insurer of the events though.

The op's post seems to contradict that train of thought as they have posted here and not asked their insurance company

Of course I am talking to insurers!  However I can find out valuable information from experienced forum members (the more sensible ones at least!) which the insurers won't necessarily remember tell me when they are selling me a product.  My other reason for posting was to remind people how easy it is to mistake a heart attack for something else with possibly deadly results.

 

I must end here, my blood pressure is in danger of rising! 

 

Thanks all for your tips.

I have had a 'metal' aorta valve for 32 years , my holiday insurance is via Camping & caravanning club/Intana.

They have been brilliant over the years.A' multi-trip' ins. has been better - if you holiday often in the same year.

Car insurance ask ' DVLA informed?  no problem.'

I have ,of course , been on warfarin ever since.
