Just got diagnosed with AF after wondering where my energy had gone, so just about to start on medication. No sure how this will effect my holiday trips to USA expect insurance will go through the roof?

Hopefully the medication should keep the AF in check and give you back your energy. Check out All Clear Insurance. They did a good deal for me.

I've had A/F for ten years and not yet had a problem with holiday insurance. However depends on the individual circumstance for each of us with A/F. It is a notifiable condition for holiday insurance. If it is paroxysmal (intermittent) and not permanent this should help the insurance company decide. Also how long you have had the condition and what medical advice and medication (also notifiable) that you take. If you have a year long policy then talk to your insurance provider and they are likely to be helpful. New insurance might be more problematical so you might need to shop around. British Heart Foundation site or a telephone call to them might be able to help if necessary.
