I am 37 and recently suffered a heart attack. I am on the mend and want to go on holiday. Does anyone know if I will be able to get holiday insurance and should I mention my heart attack?

you may not be able to get insurance

but in seeking a policy, you should always say about your history in your case the coronary.

If ya don't, they wont pay for anything connected
and if you are unlucky, they wont pay for anything at all.

I agree with Peter in the fact that you have to declare your medical condition(s) upon applying for insurance. If you don't, and something untoward happens, you policy is probably null and void. However, I think that you can get insurance, but the cost is going to be escalated because of your medical history.

My Dad is in the same boat, he has been unable to get insurance due to a heart problem. You can apply for a E111 form from the post office, it may help provide funds to assist if the wort happens whilst your away. Also, might be worth asking your GP.

My partner has diabetes and I've really had trouble getting travel insurance, they seem to have cracked down a lot if you read the wording for medical conditions. If you google for travel insurance with pre-existing medical conditions, you will find quite a few companies out there, but I reckon it'll be expensive, if they'll cover you at all. I think the one I went with was Free Spirit.
