Going on holiday can be great for your health. That’s why we’ve been helping people with pre-existing medical conditions to explore the world since 2000. You might be nervous about traveling after a coronary angioplasty procedure or perhaps you can’t wait to get going again. Firstly, it’s important to think about what kind of holiday you’re after. Check out the below coronary angioplasty travel tips for advice on planning your trip.

It’s important you check with your doctor whether it’s safe for you to travel before you start dreaming of sunshine and palm trees. Stents don’t even set off security systems at the airport!

When travelling with coronary angioplasty, you will probably want to think carefully about the type of holiday you want. Here’s some more advice on planning the perfect holiday: 

• One of the best coronary angioplasty travel tips is to be realistic about how much travelling your body can take. It’s easy to underestimate the impact of long haul travelling for hours and hours – you don’t want to reach your dream destination exhausted.
• Your healthcare team should have warned you about any activities you should avoid. Be sure to check with them again before you travel.
• Avoid heading to countries with very hot or very cold temperatures because this can put extra strain on your heart. The same goes for high altitude destinations.
• Opt for accommodation that’s easy to access and close to amenities.
• Learn some local lingo before you go. Key phrases such as ’emergency’, ‘heart’ and ‘doctor’ may be helpful in an emergency.

Having fun is important, but it’ll do you good in the long term to try and stay healthy during your holiday. Here are some things you might need to think about:

• Don’t leave home without your medication and consider whether you should take extra supplies in case you lose some,or if there is a delay on your journey.
• Having a copy of your medical records and a list of your medications with you may come in useful too.
• Stick to your pill taking schedule by planning ahead. Changes in time zones -especially with long haul travel- can get confusing.
• Being on holiday is relaxing but it’s also a great opportunity to work on your cardiac rehabilitation. Follow the advice of your healthcare team but you might want to consider some gentle exercise.
• Try not to overindulge! (Although this is easier said than done). Choose meals low in fat, sugar and salt. Also, keep a bottle of water on you -especially in warm climates- to stay hydrated while you’re exploring.
• Make sure you understand when you should seek emergency medical advice. For example, if you encounter persistent bleeding from your wound, pain, or changes to the arms or leg where your stent was inserted you may require medical advice.
