morning everyone. Thanks for sharing all your stories. Very supportive.

I have had at for 20 years. Now 71. I've had two ablations over the last year that haven't worked

I am on drenoderone and Apixaban. Go back to see consultant in June. Think he might want to try bisoprol. the meds I am on seem to prevent severe attacks and I am unaware of my af which is making it more tolerable.

I am permanently in PAF.

the fatigue is awful at times.

anyhoot.

two questions.

many experience of bisoprol?

I am going on holiday later on in the year in to Israel, a Nile river cruise and Jordan to see Petra. Three of my bucket lists !!!

can anyone recommend a holiday insurance company? Stay sure is advertised a lot in magazines for over 50's with existing health conditions. I'd also prefer to talk to someone not apply online!!

Thanks from a very cold and snowy North.

❄️❄️

Try Saga! I found them excellent to talk to on the phone

On our website is a list of insurers whom AF Association has found to be sympathetic to travellers with a heart condition : heartrhythmalliance.org/afa...

Hope this helps, and you have a fabulous holiday, it sounds fantastic!

I'm in permanent af and always use Staysure. I found them cheaper than others I looked at . I've never had to make a claim fortunately so don't know what they are like if you so need help.

I used all clear on my first trip abroad last year since having AF and doing so again this year, I have family travel insurance with my bank but sadly I’m not covered.

I have just got a competitive quote from Staysure - online, but got through on the phone OK with a query if you prefer getting a quote over the phone. AllClear also seem OK, but were more expensive. No claim experience with either.

Our first holiday post Covid was to Israel last October. It was brilliant. I’ve also been to Jordan and that is amazing too ( try to see Jerash).

I used Staysure and it came out far cheaper than all the others. I usually look at the price online and then ring to ensure that all bases are covered and I haven’t omitted anything that may negate the policy. So that’s what I did with Staysure. You’ll need Worldwide cover for Israel.

Have a great time!
