My condition

Hi

I was diagnosed with blocked arteries in April 2017 following a variety of symptoms including chest pain and breathlessness. Not followed through by GPS for many months previously. Was operated on to have a Triple Bypass, but due to radiotherapy from 23 years ago pericardial sac lesions found so had 3 stents inserted instead. Have just had to have another stent inserted. Now trying to update Lloyds Bank package travel insurance. Also have mild to moderate Aortic Stenosis!!

Hi Dave sounds as though you have been through the mill. Hope the stents are settling now and rehab has helped. Hope also you manage to sort your travel insurance as I suspect that will be an interesting challenge!! Take care. Zena

Lloyds don't offer Travel Insurance as part of their current account packages any more. We had it and it was cancelled at the end of the year, without telling us. I found out when I went to get a copy of the policy when going on holiday.

If you have issues with insurance and are over 50 try StaySure. There is also a pinned post about insurance.
