Hi Andrew,

My episodes are like the flick of a switch, often triggered by bending and cause heartrate of 220bpm, which can be challenging for the doctors in A&E to stop. I’m female and 56 now - I had episodes for years which self rectified and I dismissed as palpitations, but it got bad in 2020. I had an ablation and was medication and episode free for 2 years. I then had another episode and am now on Bisoprolol twice daily and Rivoroxiban. Been ok for 14 months, but going to France soon and it’s the first time abroad since this all started, so nervous about it and need to get good insurance.

How are you doing?

Would recommend Staysure as well. I would add that we had to make a small claim last year and it was settled promptly with no fuss.

I have declared AF with Barclays Travel Insurance about 6 years ago. They have confirmed I am covered every year since . Having said that I rarely get AF after ablation in late 2018. Touch wood!
