More about travel insurance. GP told me I may have endo on my diaphragm from my symptom but not confirmed by lap. Do I need to declare?

Apology for the second post for travel insurance.

I get breathlessness and chest and back pain during the period and ovulation. Lung collapse is not confirmed. There were severe chest and back pain when I had really difficulty breathing in December but I didn't go to the doctor as it happened on Friday evening and by Monday I got a bit better. I didn't think it was a major lung collapse but there could be a tiny one? I was quite OK during January period. I am being referred to chest department but not had an appointment yet.

I am going to buy travel insurance soon to go to Japan for July as I already bought ticket. I am in a tricky situation as I was told there is a bit of endo on my Pouch of Douglas but on the letter it said "there is not significant endomitriosis found". I have a lot of adhesion in my pelvic area especially on my bowel.

I put bowel adhesion but it seems like it it talking about adhesion inside of bowel as it had a further question about bowel blockage.

I think I have endo as I had painfree time with Zoladex so I think there is more endo underneath adhesion but when I buy this insurance there is no proof I have endo anywhere.

Should I declare endo at all? Should I declare about my undiagnosed and untreated chest pain but being referred?

Thanks in advance.

Hi EJT01 Thanks for your reply. Do you mind telling me which company you went with, please? I tried Tesco, M&S, Sainsbury's, Post office, Bupa and AA and comparing sites.

AA is the cheapest so far but costing me over plus £30 to declare endo (with chronic pain, post op).

Thanks.
