Can You Fly With Amyloidosis? 6 Ways To Prepare for Travel
start
Ask Your Doctors for Documentation and Referrals
Your healthcare team is your best resource when preparing for a trip. Be sure to check in with any specialists you see, such as a cardiologist (heart specialist).
Buy Travel Insurance
Start researching travel insurance early, even before booking your trip, if possible. You may want to speak with an insurance broker who understands plans for people with health conditions.
Prepare To Navigate New Environments
Think about your destination, too. Will there be a lot of walking? If you’re planning sightseeing tours or visiting a foreign city with cobblestone streets, dirt paths, or stairs, you might get tired more quickly.
Understand Medication Rules and Restrictions
Ask your doctor or pharmacist how to store your medications during travel, and check with your airline about specific requirements.
Be Prepared for Emergencies
Having a list of nearby hospitals and emergency contacts will give you peace of mind on your trip. Look up phone numbers, hours, and the types of specialists available at these places.
Take Time To Recover at Home
Be sure to schedule some downtime after your trip to rest and adjust. If you experience any signs of sickness, like gastrointestinal problems or a fever, contact your doctor.
